*Commemorative Poster Unveiled*

Congratulations go to Jerry Brown whose pastel titled *Winter Sunset** *has
been unveiled as the 2013 Columbia Commemorative Poster. The work was
selected from 137 images submitted by 24 Missouri artists through a jury
process. Brown was born and raised in Kirksville. He enrolled in college in
1964, took several art classes, enjoyed them and decided to earn a degree
in Art Education. After two years in the Army he earned a Masters Degree in
Studio Art from the University of Missouri, Kansas City. Jerry taught high
school art and worked as a watercolor artist for 30 years before moving to
pastels. Brown’s work was inspired by a dramatic evening sky in late winter
near Lee’s Summit. The 2013 Columbia Commemorative Poster can be purchased
at Deck the Walls in the Columbia Mall or at the city’s OCA, 300 S.
