Testimonials “I think it is important to know where you come from. This book has been created as a way to share my life experiences and those of our ancestors with my children and grandchildren. Once all the older generations are gone, I want future generations to have a place to go to learn about our family. This book is my answer to that. I hope it awakens their curiosity about the past and encourages them as they build their own lives…It is amazing to see all of the pieces come together.” – Marjorie Saltzman “Tim and I both valued the family involvement that assembling the photos for the heirloom artwork required. It focused our parents and Tim’s brother on the idea that marriage is more than a union between individuals, but of two families and their unique histories. The resulting piece captures the most important aspects of our stories and provides a visual reminder of the paths that were carved out for us and on which we will continue together. After the wedding, Tim’s extended family came to our house and spent lots of time pouring over the painting. It was evident that they felt honored to have their own roots immemorialized in this way. That you for this incredibly special gift.” – Joanna Weaver “Now my daughter has a place to go and learn about our family. All of the photographs really bring our memories to life.” – Barbara Lovre “It is amazing to see everything come together in one place. You helped turn our collection of photographs and stories into a real storybook, weaving all of our lives together. It is so well written and beautifully illustrated. Decade by decade, my children can see where they come from and how the generations before them lived.” – Julie Leuvrey “We will enjoy your painting for many years to come! Thank you for your beautiful art.” – June Weiner “It has been a sheer pleasure working with Lisa on my mom’s photo collage. She has artistic sensibility, paired with a delightful manner of communicating about the project, sensitivity to my personal needs and time, and clarity about what the goals of the project are for me. I would highly recommend her to anyone!” – Eileen Chodos |
