We are thrilled to announce that junior Isabel Thoroughman (‘24) is an American Illustration winner and as such, recently had work published in American Illustration 41. Isabel is the first student since the relaunch of the Illustration program in 2010 to receive this honor.
“From over 7000 images submitted by illustrators, magazines, agencies, publishers and schools, only 429 professional and 14 student images were selected by a majority vote or better to appear in the book, representing the best images from 2021.” - taken from American Illustration 41
Professor David Terrill and Associate Professor & Chair Maura Cluthe also had work published in American Illustration 41. Congratulations all!
