Amy B. Trosino

Trosino has kept many illustrated journals throughout her career.  In addition to containing favorite quotes, book excerpts, and music lyrics, her journals also contain drawings and reflections on life including what it means to be an artist, business owner, and educator.  What makes Prelude to a Shapemaker distinct is her exploration and combination of anatomy, science, nature, religion, and spirituality.  Each of these elements were somewhat explored in the past, but this was the first time she consciously combined all five aspects into one journal.
