His award-winning watercolors have been exhibited nationally in prestigious museums, institutions and galleries since 1985.
Lewis’ successful segue into children’s book illustrations started in 1993. Soon the artist/teacher had contracts with nine major publishing firms.
Winner of the prestigious Coretta Scott King award, Lewis prefers contemporary stories but said the setting doesn’t really matter as long as it is a good story. “I like strong human-interest stories … The kind that evoke emotion … Stories that touch the heart.”
