 * it did not provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that it meets the notability guidelines. It is now Wikipedia policy that biographical articles about living people must have independent verifiable references, or they will be deleted. Although you gave five references, four were catalogue essays, unlikely to be independent since effectively sales material, and the fourth was a print-only ref to a local newspaper, scarcely an indication of encyclopaedic notability. If you recreate, you will need to find better references, and preferably place them in-line so we can see what facts each is supporting. I can't see any indication that she is of more than local interest. Nothing she has been associated with is linked to a Wikipedia article, suggesting that they are not notable either.
 * It was written in a promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic. Examples of unsourced claims presented as fact include: known mainly for her work as a painter moving between figuration, abstraction and the landscape... Brown has long been an activist in creating space and opportunities for other artists...
 * The first paragraph is about the galleries that sell her stuff &mdash; spam
 * The second paragraph, nearly a third of the article is an extended eulogy by an unknown person, with text that is not online, and therfore cannot be verified. Although properly attributed reviews can be part of an article, they must be used with caution, and certainly not in place of facts.
 * The article was created in a single edit without wikilinks or references, and looks as if was copied from an unknown and possibly copyrighted source. This is just a comment, not reason for deletion.
