Cathy HullAuthor/illustrator Cathy Hull has always viewed and depicted the world, politics, and current events through the lens of art history. Decades before the stimulating creative art challenges, the pandemic, lockdowns, Zoom calls, and virtual happy hours the artist -- inspired by the masters -- began juxtaposing incongruous icons and symbols in familiar settings to convey striking comparisons.

Creatives are no strangers to self-isolation -- most are now doing what they have always done -- working remotely from home. Happily, the internet has made it easier than ever before to relate to and connect with others within this strange, shared but disparate reality -- leading to many a-ha moments.
