Cecily Brown (born 1969) is a British painter. Her style displays the influence of a variety of contemporary painters, from Willem de Kooning, Francis Bacon and Joan Mitchell, to Old Masters like Rubens, Poussin and Goya. Brown lives and works in New York. Brown was born to novelist Shena Mackay and art critic David Sylvester and raised in England. Prior to her 1994 move to New York City, Brown resided in New York as an exchange student from the Slade School of Art in 1992. From the age of three Brown wanted to be an artist; she was supported in this ambition by her family, notably by her grandmother and two of her uncles who were also artists. Brown is married to architecture critic Nicolai Ouroussoff; they have one daughter. Since 2014, Brown has been serving on the board of directors of the Foundation for Contemporary Arts (FCA). Brown went to Surbiton High School in Surrey, before studying at the Epsom School of Art, Surrey, England (1985–87) (now part of the University for the Creative Arts), then taking drawing and printmaking classes at Morley College, London (1987–89), and finally receiving first class honours on a BA degree in Fine Arts course at the Slade School of Art, London (1989–93). During her studies she studied for a semester abroad in New York City.
