Eve Prime photographed the cover art for the album. The models in the photo are, from left to right, cellist Sam Davol, Ilsa Jule, Gail O'Hara, Michael Cavadias and Leslie Taylor (who would later go on to wed Sam Davol in 1997).[1] Ashley Salisbury was the stylist.
Lilly of the Valley is listed in the liner notes as being one of the "cover models." It is in fact the performance character name of Michael Cavadias[2] .
The tray card was photographed by John Woo.
