About

Jaclyn Kolev Brown was born in Petersburg, Virginia in 1990. Jaclyn is an artist and photographer whose work often includes symbolism, bold color and light, in minimalistic frames. Her work often emanates from a central theme of questioning either a collective or individual identity through book form or exhibition.

She earned her MFA in Photography from the University of Hartford’s International Low-Residency Program in 2018, and received her BFA in Photography & Film from Virginia Commonwealth University in 2013. Her work has been shown both nationally and internationally. She was included in VCUart’s selective alumni show, The Gold Standard, which included graduates from the past decade. Her recent shows include A Kind of Blindness a Kind of Sight at Sediment Arts in Richmond, VA and The Unseen Forrest in Athens, GA curated by Alex Christopher Williams.

Jaclyn occasionally teaches photography workshops for the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts on weekends throughout Virginia and mentors/teaches students one on one.
