When Dr. Brown is not treating patients her favorite past time is creating art. She is a local Mixed Media Artist with art in local art shows, shops and galleries in the valley. Her favorite subjects to paint are angels and horses. Sometimes the healer needs healing and art truly heals! 

She also enjoys yoga, tennis, travel and spending time with family and friends including her son Tyler, her horses Wyatt & Duke, her dog Hope Hollyhock and cats Sally, Roker & Figgy. Dr. Brown loves to speak Italian so don't forget to say Ciao and strike up a conversation in Italian if you also speak the language!
