Maghen Brown is an illustrator, artist and designer who draws wherever she goes as she observes the world and records her impressions and experiences. By working mainly on location she captures the life and energy of the moment. Somehow she manages to translate the chaos, motion and insanity of everyday life and organizes it into a 2 dimensional drawing that transports the viewer to the event and time. She blends documentary, reportage style observations, with personal experience, perception, and culture to create a visual statement. Maghen’s art is how she connects and tries to understand and then share. It is her way of communicating, telling a story, recording a memory and solving a problem. Her honest, intelligent, and personal work has been commissioned for editorial, advertising, textile and fashion as well as shown in many galleries. Maghen received a BFA in Illustration from Pratt Institute and currently lives in Brooklyn surrounded by the energy and excitement which inspire her. When she's not drawing she loves spending time with her husband and two daughters Chloe and Lola Belle, trying new restaurants, doing yoga, cooking healthy meals, reading, and appreciating the beautiful things.

Maghen has worked for Time Out New York, The Utne Reader, Stocks and Commodities Magazine, Bitch Magazine, Juicy Couture, Express, BeBe, Victoria's Secret, DKNY Jeans, Tommy Hilfiger and shown her work at CBGB Gallery, The One Well and A Little Wicked among others...

For commisioned artwork, The physical artwork is yours, I retain the right to use as self promotion on social media etc… I also own the rights to the artwork in that I am able to sell limited editions of prints.

Unless agreed upon in initial contract, I own all of the rights to all of my artwork

For original artworks, there is the possibility of smears, bleeds, spills which is part of the beauty in owning the original artwork

For toile and pattern orders, the original art is included but may not be perfect, due to the nature of original art and I usually try to keep all revisions on the same art so you may see the two versions next to each other. If there are major revisions such as a color change or many things that need to be photoshopped, the original art piece may be compromised but I will always work with the client to get them exactly what they want for print.

Minimal changes and revisions are included in the price. Once revisions become an entirely new piece of art I will have to charge for revisions.

Sometimes I will end up working bigger than the size purchased, you will not be charged extra but I suggest not buying frames until you receive the original art. Please specify if exact size is needed. Prints will be the purchased size.

I work on a first come first serve basis, but please specify if it is a rush job

For the best results:

I don’t usually do sketches- I can if needed, but sometimes the end result is less fresh

I can share my reference photo collage that I usually work with to make sure all elements are the way client envisions

Please send as much direction and reference photos from the beginning
