About Lisa Wareham-Edwards
History isn't trapped in museums. It's all around us.
My Time Travel Art blends historic photographs with present-day imagery, helping people reconnect with the places, stories, and memories that shaped them.
This transforms moments from the past into conversation-starting artwork that sparks curiosity, nostalgia, and a deeper connection to place.
What began as a creative experiment has grown into a body of work spanning Montana, Yellowstone National Park, San Francisco, and beyond.
My artwork has been displayed in homes, businesses, museums, community spaces, tourism projects, and cultural institutions, helping viewers experience familiar places in an entirely new way.
My process starts with historical research.
I search archives, libraries, museums, newspapers, and forgotten collections to uncover images that tell a story.
From there, I become part artist and part detective, hunting down the exact location where the original image was created. By carefully matching perspectives, landmarks, and architectural details, I'm often able to stand in nearly the same spot as the photographer from decades ago. Or, from even more than a century ago.
I then blend the historic and modern images into a single piece of artwork that allows viewers to step through time.
Along the way, I've been fortunate to have my work featured by media outlets, institutions, and organizations, and to collaborate with everyone from local historical organizations to national publications.
Who I Work With
Today, I work with businesses, communities, tourism organizations, cultural institutions, and collectors who want artwork that goes beyond decoration and creates meaningful connections.
Current areas of focus include:
• Corporate and public art installations
• Community storytelling projects
• Historical and cultural preservation through art
• Tourism and destination-based artwork
• Calendar and other community-based marketing
• Speaking, media, and educational opportunities
I also enjoy helping fellow artists and photographers build stronger creative businesses, tell better stories, and create work that matters.
