Description: A retrospective portfolio of the art of illustrator Troy Brown spanning his early career and education at the Art Academy of Cincinnati to his most current work as a freelance childrens book illustrator.

He told me Maryvilles proposed artist-in-residence had dropped out and the college was entertaining the prospect of someone else being offered the spot. It seemed I had called at just the right time.The exhibit that would accompany my lecture featured about forty works that spanned a good part of my career to date. Since I was going to be giving the workshop for primarily illustration students, we decided to make the exhibit a type of retrospective of my illustration practice. So, about forty works in two galleries became the task, with a limited edition print to commemorate the schools bicentennial celebration.While planning this exhibition, I thought of how illustration has transitioned over the decades from an artform known as a distant cousin of fine art to a highly skilled tool of communication. We see its impact from early notables
