Born in Chicago Illinois, I now live in rural Pennsylvania. As far back as I can remember I have seen everything around me differently than others. When I was three years of age I wandered from my house to the woods around the corner. Full of trees, birds, insects and wild flowers, this was an immense and magical place to me. Filled with light that dappled the ground and illuminated the trees and flowers interspersed with small pieces of blue sky above. I never thought that this was a place where I should not be. My worried Mother called the police and I was returned unharmed and happy. The quiet magic of the woods brought me back many times. I would look at everything around me for hours' and especially liked how light and colour played together. And the sky - forever changing - I could watch it for hours. I still do!

As years passed - I couldn't help but draw, cut and paste, build things and paint! At ten years of age I wanted to be an architect after admiring Frank Lloyd Wright's buildings, then in high school wanted to be an industrial designer after reading about Raymond Lowey and seeing his work. After completing five years of art in high school then went on to the University of Iowa and majored in Graphic Design and Fine Arts. I loved University life and the stimulus of being with so many creative people. The challenge of University however, wasn't enough, and after my second year I transferred to the Los Angeles Art Center School (now Pasadena Art Center School), which was and remains the world's premier school for designers. I loved the challenge as well as hard work and late nights.

In later years I realized that the discipline and focus I learned at the Art Center was, and continues to be, immensely beneficial in my working life. I left the Art Center after two years, married and settled in Iowa, where I continued to do my art. At the age of 21 I became affiliated with my first gallery in Minneapolis Minnesota. Since that time many years ago I have always been affiliated with galleries, no matter what other employment I had. In 1971 I opened a photography studio to professionally practice my hobby of photography; specializing in annual reports, casual portraiture and agricultural photography. It grew to be quite successful, however, wanting to spend more time with my sons, I gave up the studio in 1976 and became the Executive Director of a Bi-State Service Agency. During this time I also became a Marketing Directors of Iowa's first HMO. In 1984 I finally realized that what I wanted to be was what I had been doing all my life. I acquired a bank loan and opened up BH Brody Studio, designing a successful commercial wall décor and accessory line, while continuing with my fine art and the galleries. The more design I did, the more the galleries wanted my pieces and after several years I had the pleasure of closing my commercial line and working with my art pieces full-time.

Over the years I have had numerous gallery exhibitions in both the UK and the USA and my work hangs in many private and corporate collections worldwide.

Today I live in rural Pennsylvania where it is quiet, people smile and the pace of life is slower. I can see the sky forever from my studio and back yard.
