Finding Belonging Through Memoir

A conversation with local artist and author Victoria Ying

Join us for an inspiring conversation with acclaimed author and artist, Victoria Ying, who will share insights from her personal and professional journey

Burbank librarians will talk with Victoria about her animation career and evolution--artistic and otherwise--over the years. The conversation will explore how our journeys, regardless of our career paths, are filled of twists and turns that can eventually lead us to a sense of wholeness. 

Victoria Ying is a critically acclaimed author and artist living in Los Angeles. She started her career in the arts by falling in love with comic books, eventually turning into a career working in animation and graphic novels. She loves Japanese Curry, putting things in her shopping cart online and taking them out again and hanging out with her husband and cat, Bandito. Her film credits include Tangled, Wreck it Ralph, Frozen, Paperman, Big Hero 6, and Moana. She is the author and illustrator of her own series "City of Secrets and City of Illusion" and the illustrator of the DC series "Diana Princess of the Amazons." Her graphic novel, "Hungry Ghost" is a touching exploration of eating disorders, family dynamics, and ultimately a story of self-love.
