Pintura le pécheur, Marseille por Brooksby | Pintura Figurative Marine Life style Oil

Brooksby showed an early aptitude for drawing. To keep up with her father's business travels, her family traveled constantly across the United States. This itinerant childhood gave the American artist a real appetite for wandering. By the age of eight, she was already studying model drawing at the University of California, Los Angeles. Two years later, she was apprenticed to a Japanese ceramist in West Virginia, and later became interested in photography. At the Beaux-Arts, she discovered a passion for sculpture and graduated in 1987, just before moving to Florence, Italy, where she settled for over twenty years.
