The adjective "creative" does not begin to describe Irmaly Brackin. As she explains it, she has been in an "atmosphere of art" all her life. She came from what she describes as a family of artists. Her grandfather was the famous German Expressionist painter, Hans Grohs.

Irmaly grew up in Miami, where the vivid colors and imagery of Cuban and Latin American artists would come to play a strong role in her sense of image and the direction her work would take. With her European background, she was able to take advantage of some extraordinary study opportunities. Her professional accomplishments is long. She is represented by Calvin and Lloyd in Norfolk, Va., by Carteret Contemporary Art in Morehead City NC, by the Sher Gallery in Miami Beach, FL and by Art Emancia in Asheville NC and at Gladiola Girls in Boone, N.C.
