Manuelita Brown Visits CSUSM

Excerpts from the Fall 2018 edition of the Cougar Chronicles:

The San Diego sculptor came to CSUSM to discuss her experience as an artist on Nov. 20.

Staircase Exhibition, a CSUSM visual arts organization, hosted the event titled Meet Manuelita Brown.

Brown began her presentation by showing the auditorium of students in Arts Hall 111 pictures of her family and some of her sculptures. Many of her sculptures are modeled after the pictures of her family members that she showed the audience.

According to Brown, “While nothing in my genetics destined me to become an artist, my family’s influence definitely did.” Her family highly encouraged education and music, which the artist said eventually lead her to pursue the arts.
