Artful Memories is not just for artists. It’s for storytellers and creatives. It’s for someone who appreciates an old, torn photograph and believes that lost memories can be preserved and made immortal.

Working with old photographs is a very intimate experience that can help focus, increase human compassion and even facilitate grief. You can use photos of your loved ones to keep their memory alive, and to create something meaningful. You can follow a tutorial from beginning to end, or simply use it as an inspiration and let the photographs whisper a new story. 

Artful Memories is a book about the transformation of familiar, often mundane objects, into immortal art objects. It provides easy step by step instructions on how to transform old photographs to create a new story. But it is so much more than just an instructional book.

It’s a visual experience, a time travel machine, accompanied by art, quotes, inspiration galleries and even music, all personally selected by the authors.

"There is something both intriguing and comforting in the timeless aspect of the human experience. Photos from so long ago can be so easy to relate to, and creating with them feels like a tribute to the fact that indeed we are so much the same over all the years of time."
