"Little Doll" Inspired by the faces in the images. The innocence of dolls, every face in here is a doll to me. Fiona Apple, Jolly chimp, I find inspiration as I create a piece, and when I know, I know, until then I don't.

"Alley Kats Blush" Punk & Fashion inspired, feeling fierce, bold, and Rock & Roll. This was the piece that inspired me to incorporate texture. All my pieces are meant to be touched, truly felt. Everything on my pieces can be touched, thats part of the beauty of creating them, incorporating as much of the 5 senses as possible. Betsy Johnson, is one of my favorite designers, and her picture inspired the black & white theme.

"Blue Honey" The Color Blue was my first inspiration for this piece, then I started with pictures. The Photo of Kurt Cobain In the center, and all the pictures I used were just blue, bright, and bold.

"Montreal" The Inspiration, was before and after, there are so many layers in this multi-media piece, I felt the need to change it up, just as I changed in my life.

"Rose Vine" - I was trying to figure out a border for this piece, and thought if only I could put something that would stay alive, like a Rose Vine" -

"Saku-Rain" - Every image in this piece, is from a book, What Life Is Like In Tokyo. I wanted to keep the piece feeling fresh, and minimal, leave people refreshed after interacting with it. It is all mounted on a Jerusalem Stone. *This was also the first piece where viewers could smell the creation, as I even used potpourri to incorparate all the senses.

"Spring Blues" - Inspired by the Singer Francois Hardy. I absolutely Love French Culture. Her songs make me feel melancholic, sad, yet happy at the same time. Which is why I picked the sad little boy as the centerpiece, surrounded by Color & Happiness. - LZ Star of Silver
