A city native, Browne's paintings center on an early connection with the written word and a progressively music-driven inspiration. His first-ever painting 'Words' was developed after an experimental calligraphy session, but Browne says song has always been his fall-back motivator.

Ten years after 'Words', the self-taught artist hopes his pieces are intriguing enough to catch the eyes of curious passersby.

Browne's exhibition will open to the public on March 12.
