Adele Quartley Brown is a New York City-based, emerging artist interested in narratives around perception and misconception. Adele, a published author and consultant to the humanitarian sector, pivoted from corporate work to focus full-time on her photography. She has been photographing steadily since receiving a Polaroid Swinger camera in her teens.
In 2021, Adele was honored to have her work exhibited, along with 25 emerging artists, on billboards in Los Angeles, CA, as part of The Billboard Creative juried competition. Later that year, Adele was awarded two First Place awards and a Runner Up award for three photographic series at the 17th Julia Margaret Cameron Awards. She also received recognition at the 16th and 15th JMC Awards. Her photographs have been published in the Kurt Vonnegut Museum & Library’s literary journal, So It Goes, and online.
Since 2020, Adele’s photographs have been selected for group exhibitions in Texas, Oregon, Rhode Island, and Barcelona. Her Culture & Daily Life series was exhibited at the 6th Barcelona Foto Biennale in December 2021.
