 Growing
up on a farm in northern Illinois, CJ Brown appreciates
the land, the lifestyle and people of the rural
countryside. Her father raised Angus and Simmental
cattle which layed the foundation to develop her
interest in painting the cattle which she is so
passionate about. Today she lives outside of the village
of Lindenwood, Ill. where she is involved in a
family partnership herd with her dad, brother and son.
She received an art degree from Luther College,
Decorah, Iowa and she has completed projects for
the American Angus Association, American Shorthorn
Association, and the Charolais Association. At the 2008
National Junior Angus Show held in Des Moines,
Iowa, she was inducted into the Honary Angus Foundation
for the work she has done for the junior program.
Her work hangs in the American Angus Hall of Fame,
the Canadian Angus Association, Cargill Meat Solutions,
Beef Division, the American Shorthorn Corporate
Headquarters as well as other corporate businesses tied
to the beef industry. Most importantly CJ is most
grateful to all those who enjoy her work in their homes
and give her the opportunity to continue to create her
passion of painting. |
