Outline of proposed changes
Currently, Cecily Brown’s article has short (3-5 sentence long) sections for her Personal Life, Education, and Career. These three sections, along with the slightly longer section on Critical Reception, are the parts I think I’ll be able to contribute to the most, as the biographical sources I’ve read about Brown have similar information that isn’t already in the article. For the Education/Career sections, for example, neither of them mention that she studied abroad in New York during her time as a student at the Slade, which was a contributing factor to her moving there post graduation and has now been living and working in New York since. The Career section also says that she “left London to sign on to the Gagosian Gallery in New York City”, but the reading I’ve done says that she moved to New York for Jeffrey Deitch Projects, and after a few years changed to Gagosian Gallery, so this is something I’ll need to look more into and correct if needed. I’ve also read a couple strongly negative reviews of Brown's earlier galleries, which is a huge contrast to the mostly positive reviews of her more recent work, so I think that talking about that shift in the Critical reception section is important.

I’d also like to rework the section called “Work,” because it currently is a mix of  talking about her style, inspirations, and several quotes from Brown talking about her work. A large section of this seems like just quotes from interviews, which isn’t necessarily bad, but I want to even out the section by pulling from sources that aren’t Brown talking about her own work. I also would like separate this section a little bit better so that its better organized, and divide it into Inspiration, Style, Process, Early Work, Recent Work, followed by the already existing “In the media” and “Charity work” subsections.
