Diane Brown is an art dealer and consultant, specializing in collection development and management. Her family fervently hoped she would become a doctor, while all she dreamed of was opening an art gallery. After graduating from college as a pre-med major, she opened her first gallery in Washington, DC in 1976, moved it to Soho (New York City) in 1983, and closed it at the end of 1992. Since that time she has sold art privately and curated the art collection for a corporate headquarters in midtown Manhattan.
She sees RxArt, Inc. - the new nonprofit - as, at last, an opportunity for her to combine her formal education with her dreams of exposing and educating a broad public to the highest quality works of art and thus support the healing process through beauty.
