Artist's Statement
The Flowerhood Chapter of Life Photomontage Series was created when I was a first-time mom, transitioning into my new role. Each page in the chapter contains at least one blooming flower, ready to shed its beautiful petals and give of herself to produce and nourish offspring; an image captured during nocturnal newborn nurturing; and an image of a personally meaningful spot of ground, which represents groundedness, Mother Nature's support, and the well-trodden path walked by countless mothers before me.
Artist's Bio
With a background rooted in the performing arts, Lisa Zamora, MFA, is an emerging visual artist who is taking her interpretation of the world from the fleeting movements to enduring forms. Focusing her work on botanical imagery supported by a meaningful and over-processed background, Lisa creates visual metaphors that feel both familiar and a little unexpected.
Lisa's works have been included in exhibitions in California, Utah, Washington DC, and Wyoming. Her photography has been recognized with local and national awards.
When not deep in digital layers or capturing images at improbable angles, Lisa enjoys spending time with her family, experiencing community events, and remembering to literally and artistically stop and smell the roses.

About the branch
The Glendale Branch of the Salt Lake City Public Library system, designed by Architectural Nexus and opened in February of 2015, offers approximately 20,000 square feet of space, making it the largest City Library branch. The branch houses 40,000 circulating materials, public computers, a lounge area, a green screen room, and a grand piano donated through the Mundi Project.
The floor plan of the branch offers open views across the building while creating designated spaces for children's, teen, and adult Library collections. An enclosed activity room easily accommodates various Library programming, and a designated teen space offers a place for young adults to gather, study, and access Library resources and services.
Built with the Glendale neighborhood in mind, the building shape includes a curved form that reaches out and embraces the community while creating an outdoor plaza. Special colored concrete and landscaped designs represent the geographic area along the Jordan River, while the design scheme of interior signage incorporates colors and forms that represent the many ethnic backgrounds of Glendale neighborhood residents.
The branch is easily accessible to area students, being located just one block from Glendale Middle School, Mountain View Elementary School, and the Salt Lake City School District's Community Learning Center.
The diversity of building materials, finishes, and colors of the Glendale Branch reflect the diversity of the Glendale neighborhood, which is one of the most diverse communities in Salt Lake City.
