I’ve followed artist/illustrator Felicia Chiao on Instagram for years, and I’m so excited to see a book of her work being published. Her art has always explored themes of isolation, but for many of her fans the work took on new significance during the long months of quarantine. Her illustration style is clean, light, and surreal. A recurring figure often explores interiors — encountering flowers, pools, empty sky, outer space, and sometimes a cozy bedroom. Despite expressing feelings of loneliness and even depression, the illustrations maintain a playful feeling, and are punctuated by hilarious swearing pigeons. Recommended By Leah B., Powells.com
