Ep #98: From Heirloom to Art with Shana Novak

Welcome Home to the Suburbs

Feeling sentimental? If so, you’re going to want to listen to what today’s guest, Shana Novak (aka “The Heirloomist”) has to say! In this episode, she reveals how to preserve your cherished memories in the most artful way, and as a sentimentalist myself, I was very excited to learn from Shana.

Shana Novak is an established commercial still life photographer based in New York City. She has collaborated with brands such as Coca-Cola, Procter & Gamble, Rolling Stone, and Time magazine. As The Heirloomist, Shana brings a mix of professional polish and heart to her craft ensuring that every client is treated to an expert level of quality and visual storytelling. In April 2024, The Heirloomist will welcome her first book, 100 Treasures and the Stories They Tell, published by Chronicle Books, and you can pre-order your copy at https://www.theheirloomist.com/the-book!

I just love how Shana captures personal belongings and sentimental things in a way that you can really enjoy, instead of keeping them tucked away in a box, basement, or drawer. What she shares today shows that you can bring your items to life in a way that they truly can be enjoyed as a piece of art!

We want to hear what resonated with you the most from our conversation and how you plan to turn your memories into works of art! You can DM or tag us on Instagram, @jillkalmaninteriors and @theheirloomist.
