Nancy Gershman, an artist who has worked with such LGBT groups as PFLAG (Parents and Friends of Lesbians and Gays), has pioneered an art form called ‘healing dreamscapes,’ which are photomontages using family photographs that tell stories intended to help families reconcile, send positive messages to loved ones and heal relationships.
Her latest work, ‘Dreamscaping: The Therapeutic Photomontages of Nancy Gershman’ is showing at The Loyola University Museum of Art, 820 N. Michigan through Sunday, Jan. 4, 2009. See www.luc.edu/luma/.
Gershman is offering to create ‘healing dreamscapes’ for anyone in the LGBT community for free, as she is solely supported by grants and donations. Individuals each get an 8′ x 10′ print of his or her ‘dreamscape’ and a CD. E-mail nancy@artforyoursake.com or call 773-255-4677.
