Vicky Brago-Mitchell was born on September 30, 1946 in Yakima, Washington. Daughter of a Methodist minister, she grew up as Victoria Jane Bowles in small towns in Washington, Oregon and Montana. After graduating high school she attended Stanford University as a scholarship student majoring in Spanish. In 1967 she was the first American college girl to appear nude in a campus magazine, the Stanford Chaparral. In 1968 she began working at night as a topless dancer under the stage name Vicky Drake, and ran for student body president with a campaign poster that was a photo of herself posing nude on the Stanford Mausoleum. This story was first reported by the San Francisco Chronicle, May 1, 1968, then carried by wire services Associated Press and United Press International and published in newspapers worldwide. A feature about her titled Student Body appeared in the September 1968 edition of Playboy and was reprinted in the 1971 Playboy special edition The Youth Culture.

From 1970 to 1974 she toured the United States and Japan as a stripper, then stayed in Japan for two years, working as a translator, photographer and English teacher. In 1977 she obtained a teaching credential from California State University, Fullerton, then worked as an elementary school teacher until 2005.

She has been married four times, to attorney Joe Reich, Jr. in 1967, to Tokyo publisher Chikayasu Sekine in 1974, to English professor Michael Brago in 1980, and to composer John Mitchell in 1992. In 2002 she produced a CD of Mitchell's chamber music for string instruments, recorded in Moscow, and in 2006 arranged the production of a double CD of his chamber music for woodwind instruments by MMC Recordings in Boston, featuring clarinetist Richard Stoltzman. In 2005 her fractal art appeared on the cover of Latin Finance magazine and was shown at the Biennale Internazionale dell'Arte Contemporanea in Florence, Italy.
