Liz Lomax is living the Great New York Dream: Working with legendary Creative Director Simon Doonan on the Holiday windows of Barney’s, New York.

The job involved sculpting 11 life-sized caricatures of famous chefs in just seven weeks for Barney’s foodie-themed holiday windows sponsored by the Food Network, Cooking Channel and illycaffe.  Liz started with Martha Stewart…
