In 2016 and 2017 she was artist-in-residence at the Rijksakademie in Amsterdam. De Brauw's work has been exhibited in Kunsthal Rotterdam, Artericambi Gallery in Verona, Italy, SBK Amsterdam, Art Rotterdam and many other places. Her work is part of various collections, such as the ING Art Collection and the NNgroup. She was nominated for numerous awards and in 2017 she won the Young Talent Award from the Prince Bernhard Cultural Fund. She states " My work is often about the objectification of differences between periods. In recent years I have painted many interiors, always focusing on the change of trends over time (with an interest in what the trends represent). At the same time focusing on material that implies transformation (moire through threads and homemade lenticular lenses, etc.). Before that, I painted trends next to each other that sometimes differed by hundreds of years. This resulted in sometimes funny and kitsch work. I feel like my voice as an artist lies between the 2 working styles, and I paint towards a middle ground in this series.
