Jackie Sarah Brown (b. 1980, Philadelphia, PA) is a visual artist based in the San Francisco Bay Area. Her graphite drawings transform objects, fabric, and architecture into sites of longing and impossibility. Through spatial paradox and quiet humor, her work constructs visual systems with their own internal logic—where space answers to feeling rather than function, and objects carry the weight of absence. Working primarily in graphite, Brown builds tightly framed, compositionally restrained images rooted in emotional tone and spatial absurdity. Her background in interactive art and illustration informs her sense of structure, narrative, and play. Past work includes a residency at Fabrica (Italy) and collaborations with Google, NIAD Art Center, and 826 Valencia.

Brown holds an MFA in Design & Technology from Parsons School of Design and a BA in Studio Art from the University of Pittsburgh.
