How to Find a Caricature Artist

Caricature art is a type of pictorial representation that emphasizes particular features of an object over others -- usually prominent facial or body features on people, for example. There are a number of ways to find a caricature artist -- a local newspaper classified section or shopping mall are two good places to start. If you want to find a caricature artist where you live, popular tourist areas are a good place to start.

It has art and cartooning undergraduate and graduate programs. Visit SVA's website to find a caricature artist. Call the school and talk with a department head, if you prefer. Teachers may have additional insight about former art students who may specialize in caricature art, too.
