Leroy Brown was born and raised in Natchez, Mississippi. After graduating high school and completing one semester of community college, he enlisted in the U. S. Marine Corps. Brown’s artistic birth began in elementary school, where he drew
faces on loose-leaf notebook paper.

Throughout his military career, he honed his artistic skills by independently putting himself in areas where there was art. His military service took him throughout the U.S. and different parts of the world. While in Quantico, Virginia he retired after honorably serving twenty years.

In 2008, Brown met Hank Herring, who was an influence, guide, and mentor who encouraged him to pursue his dream and never put down the brush. Working in mainly acrylics, Brown’s evolution into the fine arts allowed him to inspire others to pursue their passion as he was simultaneously pursuing while serving
his country.

His use of folk art through vivid colors and movement portrays real-life memories at an instant glance. Brown’s inspiration comes from just that . . . inspiring people. “I want the world to have that same feeling. I get my greatest fulfillment from when a person can express themselves and how they feel from the vibes of my artwork.”

Brown’s work has been exhibited in galleries in South Carolina and Virginia and has created a trail throughout the U.S.

Press and media coverage includes various podcasts,  Real Talk TV, InsideNova newspaper, At Ease magazine, Channel 7 ABC WJLA, and DCW50 Living Local DMV.
