LITERARY INFLUENCES
Natalie Wetzel's sculptures are influenced by the landscape of fairy tales; Angela Cappetta's photography has been shaped by the poems of William Carlos Williams; and Allison Nowlin claims the short stories of Raymond Carver as a major influence.

Painter Karla Wozniak says, “The writer who has influenced me very directly was the urbanist Jane Jacobs and her book Death and Life of Great American Cities. She was one of the first authors who helped me realize why American cities and suburbs have developed the way they have. Urban and suburban landscapes have been my subject since 1998.”

Painter and installation artist Lucy Kim offered a list of the literature that has been most influential in her life and work: A Room of One's Own by Virginia Woolf; The First Man and The Stranger by Albert Camus; Sylvia Plath’s The Bell Jar; Franz Kafka's short stories; Italo Calvino’s Invisible Cities; Rings of Saturn by W.G. Sebald; and Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov.
