Michael Tracy serves as a Teaching Assistant Professor in the School of Art & Design within East Carolina University's College of Fine Arts and Communication. He manages the GlasStation, a specialized glass art facility located in Farmville, NC approximately 15 miles from main campus, where he teaches both academic courses and community programs. Professor Tracy holds a Master of Fine Arts degree from Illinois State University. His artistic practice forms a conceptual bridge between scientific disciplines and expressive art forms, with thematic explorations spanning insects, anatomy, physics, astronomy, human senses, and mechanical drafting. Working primarily in glass and graphite, he creates both two-dimensional drawings and three-dimensional sculptures that merge expressionism with super-realism. His methodology deliberately combines tight formal lines with loose expressive forms, and representational elements with abstract concepts. Each artwork functions as a fragmented self-portrait where component parts reinforce one another to achieve holistic completeness. The GlasStation serves as the operational center for his studio practice and instructional activities, supporting both degree-seeking students and community engagement initiatives through specialized glass art education.

Her research interests span illustration theory, illustration history, print culture, text and image relationships, and advertising history, with particular focus on Canadian and American contexts. Grove has pioneered quantitative approaches to illustration history through her project ID: An Illustrator Dataset , which examines representation and marginalization in the illustration canon between 1830 and 1970. Grove's publication record reveals consistent exploration of how illustration shapes national identity, particularly in Canadian contexts. Her work frequently examines the transnational dimensions of visual culture between the US and Canada, with recurring themes of gender representation, cultural nationalism, and the political dimensions of illustration. She demonstrates particular expertise in analyzing 'pretty girl' imagery, magazine illustration, and the historical development of illustration as a professional practice. As an educator, Grove has contributed significantly to the theoretical foundations of illustration pedagogy, examining the 'theoretical turn' in illustration education and advocating for more globally inclusive approaches to teaching illustration history. Her work bridges academic scholarship with professional illustration practice, reflecting her commitment to elevating illustration studies as a legitimate academic discipline. Grove is also the co-author of the comprehensive History of Illustration , the first global history of illustration written by an international team of illustration historians, practitioners, and educators. This landmark publication demonstrates her commitment to expanding the canon beyond traditional Western narratives to include diverse global perspectives on illustration practice.
