"'Untitled' poem was very sensory and from a female's point of view. I grew up on the beach and could watch the waves forever. The poem was very daydreamy and filled with associative words that were meditative. I tried to emulate that in this collage. I thought about healing the sea/beach was in this poem. The poem was created to inspire others and make them feel good."

Liz Maugan is the Director of YARDS Projects and Curator of the Dalad Collection at Worthington Yards in Cleveland's Warehouse District. She is a co-founder of Art EverySpace, a women-owned business that supports artists through the purchase and activation of hyper-local art in communities living and working in properties in Northeast Ohio. She co-founded and was the Former Executive Director of Zygote Press, a non-profit printmaking studio located in Cleveland for over 25 years. She is a starter, and like sourdough yeast, she is drawn to moments of challenge where she can invest in ideas and create a new "culture" of problem-solving that tackles tough issues. When people identify with similar challenges, and someone takes the lead, people naturally get on board and take a stake in the process.
