October Main Hall and Gallery Art Shows

“Collaborative Portraits” are co-created between the photographer, Fran Sherman, and young women who share a social justice mission. The young women and Fran make environmental portraits, collaboratively set and staged. The photographic portrait then becomes a canvas re-interpreted and altered by each young woman, through painting and collage, to express their vision and self-view. These portraits and the conversations they inspired are published in an art and social justice book, I Am Why Reclaiming the Lens.

"Magic Lands" chips away at attitudes of indifference by asking “Why am I here, and what is to be gained.” Each painting represents a particular place but more importantly the spirit of each location. Admittedly, these images are places of the mind and spirit.

These memory-scapes aim to impact viewers to think about their world, our environment, and their place within it.
