About

Carmen Brown lives and photographs in her Vancouver neighborhood, Kitsilano. “Kits” features an extensive community garden that runs the length of the retired Interurban Railway, an old commuter rail line that travelled from Downtown Vancouver to the city of Richmond in the 1890’s. The train tracks, leased from Canadian Pacific, are now home to miles of small vegetable patches, flower gardens and a public oasis of natural wonder in the centre of one of the most beautiful cities in the world.
Carmen Brown is a health care administrator at B.C. Women’s Hospital. She began her interest in photography at the early age of 8, with her first camera, a Ziess Super Ikonta, (really old and not at all digital). She has travelled the world extensively and documented the beauty around her. She is a member of V.A.P.A. and has exhibited her works at the Exposure Gallery and at Click ’08. She currently lives in Vancouver, British Columbia with her her husband Grant and their dog Dexter.
