Liz Lomax: Making of the Giant Chef Heads

We featured Liz Lomax in an interview in early 2009, but since then, she has been continuing to do some amazing work. She recently was commissioned to create 11 giant celebrity chef’s heads for Barney’s NY 2010 Holiday window. In her words: “It’s been my dream to create artwork for Barneys window displays and to work with their legendary Creative Director, Simon Doonan…When the call came in from Lindsay, the kick-ass Manager of Display Production at Barneys, to sculpt 11 life sized caricatures of famous chefs in 7 weeks for their foodie themed holiday windows sponsored by the Food Network, Cooking Channel and illycaffe, I said “YESSSS!”

So in 7 weeks, Liz created the heads of celebrity chefs, Martha Stewart, Paula Deen, Mario Batali, Bobby Flay, Daniel Boulud, Anthony Bourdain, Emeril Lagasse, Guy Fieri, Ina Garten, Sandra Lee, and Wolfgang Puck. The end result looks amazing. And glad to see some Dumbo pics in there. Congrats Liz!

  • Ever since she attended Parsons School of Design, Liz had had an incredible string of challenging projects. Her work for the N.Y. Times, the Wall St. Journal, the Boston Globe and the Wasington Post has been positively received….
    As a free=lancer, she somehow manages to squeeze in virtually all the projects that art directors send her way.
    In sum, she’s terrific!
