Informationen zum Autor Joan Booth is an artist and educator living in Los Angeles, California. She received her Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of California at Los Angeles and her Master of Education in Instructional Technology from American International University. Her inspiration to draw these humorous, satiric, and poignant illustrations arises from her desire to spotlight the nature of love and create pictures that everyone can relate to: the highs and the lows, the joys and the pains, and the uncertainties and the hopes-the universal experiences of anyone who has ever loved or been in love. Klappentext Love is one of the most profound, mysterious, and complicated emotions known to human beings. There are many types of love which can be expressed in a number of ways. We seek to establish a means of relating to another to provide deep and meaningful fulfillment that nurtures and sustains us. Love is commonly experienced by way of a romantic relationship with a partner with whom we feel compatible. The emotion of love is most often represented by the image of a heart, the organ that pumps life throughout the body. Loving another has many events that can affect us in many different ways. We can experience joy, anguish, longing, desperation, and confusion. The illustrations in "Love Bites" seek to provide some comedic relief from the intensity and conflicts that can result from loving someone.
