Lisa (Wareham) Edwards is so much more than a photographer. She is also so much more than an artist.
In a way, her work serves as a vessel for us to travel back in time. For the last few years, Wareham has been producing photographs that perfectly blend Butte of today with Butte from yesteryear.
A large percentage of her artwork builds on iconic photos from legendary Butte photographer C. Owen Smithers.
If you want to see the blown-up Miners Union Hall in 1914 mashed with a photo of the site on Main Street today, Lisa has you covered.
If want see the giant elk from the 1916 Elks Convention on the corner of Main and Broadway mixed with the intersection of today, she has you covered on that, too.
You can see old cars next to new cars and people walking the streets from a century apart.
You can browse Lisa’s work and maybe even purchase a piece or two at timetravelart.com.
