He has been dubbed 'The Rennaissance Man' for over a quarter of a century by
his native countrymen and admirers in England. However, since the first of
his many visits and guest appearances at red carpet events in the U.S.,
Donald Brown has and continues to take America by storm with his amazing
limited edition works of art that are true Twenty-First Century
masterpieces.
By the age of 14, Donald drew national television and media attention for
his sculptures. However, his first university degree application was
rejected on the grounds that there was no one at the university capable of
teaching him anything new where his technique and ability was concerned.
His second application was successful as he opted to study the history of
art the following year and Brown later graduated with a BA Honors Degree in
Fine Art Sculpture in 1988 from Wolverhampton University in England.
What makes Donald so unique is that he is self taught and even from the
tender age of ten he chose to ignore those who discouraged him from making,
what they viewed as, an unwise career choice. He however, pursued his dream
of becoming a sculptor. Now the international demand for his works have
excelled even his expectations.

and his respect for material combine to make his art quite wonderful."
2) Congressman John "Everytme I see your sculptures I am very impressed.
Lewis I've got my eye on the Genius sculpture, it's a great masterpiece."

beautiful."
