Dr. Stephanie Brown

Stephanie Brown is Assistant Program Director for the Johns Hopkins University’s MA in Museum Studies. She discovered Flowers and Fruit, a still-life formerly attributed to Paul Gauguin, in a museum in California’s Central Valley in 2016. Intrigued, she began to research the painting’s history and ask questions about its provenance. Dr. Brown earned her BA from Williams College and her PhD in French history from Stanford University. She lives in the San Francisco Bay Area with her husband and dogs.
