Brown was born in Bristol in 1971. He began exhibiting and receiving portrait commissions from the age of eleven. He is a self taught artist, although he studied for many years under noted artists both privately and in college and university.

After working for a brief time as an illustrator he focused almost entirely on portraiture, and has become a frequent exhibitor at The National Portrait Gallery and the Royal Society of Portrait Painters. In 2006 he won The Holburne Museum of Art Portrait Prize and was commissioned to paint three directors of Bristol-based Aardman Animations, Nick Park, Peter Lord and David Sproxton, for the Holburne Museum of Art.
