Mindy Brown is a lawyer and contemporary quilter who manages intellectual property and fabric effortlessly. She has been fascinated with color and making things as long she can remember. As a child she took any art class offered and won awards for her drawings. She learned to sew from her mom and to this day they enjoy creating together in workshops and fiber focused staycations. Brown’s artistic endeavors included painting, sewing, knitting, and quilting. Over the years her focus has changed and she now works on contemporary quilting. Brown’s quilts have been exhibited at QuiltCon, International Quilt Festival, and Mid-Atlantic Quilt Festival.

Along with her love of making is a deep curiosity for math and science. Brown earned an undergraduate degree in Biology, a doctorate in Biomedical Sciences, and most recently, a law degree with a focus in Intellectual Property. She is an attorney for the U.S. Department of Commerce. Brown moved a lot as a kid as her mom’s career took them throughout the U.S. She never hesitated to pack up for a new adventure. She now travels as often as she can to make up for staying in one place as an adult. In between those times she is on her deck grilling with her husband and playing with her two dogs, Penny and Wylie.
