A Visual Diary: A Selection of Caricature Drawings October 2, 2020 - January 20, 2021 - Paperback

"A Visual Diary" presents the work of professional artist Brenda Louie as a means to document the personal, horrific, raw fears and anxieties she experienced during the unprecedented global virus attack of COVID-19.

While staying home alone watching the unsettled political and social chaos unfold from a TV set between the end of an election year that transitioned into the beginning of a new presidency on January 20, 2021, Brenda used art to find clarity for her inner thoughts.

The definition of caricature drawing is an exaggeration by means of often ludicrous distortion of parts, of actions, and of characteristics. This style of art portrays the fears and anxieties experienced by many people going through the pandemic timeline in America. The power of caricature is a universally relatable experience of the topic. This book will speak to many on many different levels, and captures feelings and ideas perhaps not considered or explored.
