Brooksby showed an early aptitude for drawing. To keep up with her father's business travels, her family traveled constantly across the United States.

Two years later, she was apprenticed to a Japanese ceramist in West Virginia, and later became interested in photography. At the Beaux-Arts, she discovered a passion for sculpture and graduated in 1987, just before moving to Florence, Italy, where she settled for over twenty years.
Her love affair with painting began in the Tuscan countryside, during scooter rides. She would ride around with her easel and canvases hanging on her luggage rack. In 2006, her wandering spirit wakes up. She visited Paris for a weekend and decided to settle there. The French capital inspired her first urban scenes, a major axis of her work.
