Timeline
Lewis has been awarded prizes for his illustration work including the 2016 New York Times Best Illustrated Book Award for Preaching to the Chickens: The Story of Young John Lewis and the 2004 Caldecott Honor Award for Jacqueline Woodson's Coming on Home Soon.
In 2011, Lewis took a two and a half year hiatus to develop the direction of his fine art work, citing that he wanted to "speak to what’s happening in our society". The result of this was his "Lotto Icons" series, consisting of paintings on lottery tickets. These were covered with gold leaf and scratched away revealing solemn faces of impoverished children.
One book, Circle Unbroken written by Margot Theis Raven, was later set to music of the late composer, William Grant Still, and performed in 2007 by members of Chamber Music Charleston for educational performances. A short film of the same name was also produced, featuring these performances alongside Lewis' illustrations.
In 2003, a collection of Lewis’ original watercolors from the first fifty children's books he illustrated was purchased by The Kerlan Collection at the University of Minnesota. His work is also in private collections throughout the United States.
Lewis' career as an illustrator of children's books began in 1992 after his watercolors in Artist Magazine were noticed by agents Elizabeth O’Grady and her husband, Jeff Dwyer. They had ties to an art director from Simon & Schuster who at that time was seeking African American artists to illustrate children's books. After talking over the details, Lewis was on board. Over the next year, he quit his teaching job and completed illustrations for his first collaboration with Jane Kurtz's Fire On The Mountain.
