Our Story

Art made with love,
for those who remember

Familiar Faces is a passion project by a local San Diego artist dedicated to bringing joy to seniors living with dementia.

We draw each page by hand: portraits of singers, actors, and entertainers from the 1950s through the 1980s. A familiar face can spark a memory and start a conversation. We send around 40 pages to anyone who asks, free, worldwide.
