Paraklete Pictures Digital Art

The art on this website was created by Laurence Sandman using the Paper FiftyThree app on the iPad. They are being made available to buy as prints to help support dementia charities the world over, in memory of Laurence's dear wife, Brenda, who lived with dementia for over 15 years.

All the pictures can be ordered as photo-prints in a variety of sizes. By request, they can also be supplied (also at cost) mounted and framed.

Pricing is elegantly simple - they are all supplied at cost.

That's right. At cost.

Yes. At cost.

The clever bit is that we just ask you to consider (completely optional!) making a donation to a charity working to overcome dementia in your own country. In the UK our preferred suggestion would be the Alzheimer's Society (they helped us a lot over the years) but the choice is entirely yours. We don't even suggest an amount!

How does it work?

You choose the prints you'd like and let us know. If you go ahead and also make a donation of your choice to a charity working to overcome dementia then just email us some kind of proof - a receipt or similar (you don't even need to show the amount) - and Laurence will sign and date your prints and even add a personal 'thank you'. We don't even suggest an amount - that is completely up to you AND you can also look at using Gift Aid if that is an option where you live. That's it. simple. No complications. You don't need to worry that we're making tons of cash on the deal, because - as you can tell by the prices - we're not! We're just pleased that you'd like a copy of the pictures and you get to feel lovely for supporting a very worthwhile cause.
