Guest Wall at Valkarie Gallery

Opening Reception: March 1

5:00 PM - 8:30 PM

Valkarie Gallery

445 S Saulsbury St, Louisville, CO, 80027

James Dormer will be featured on the Guest Wall at Valkarie Gallery from Feb.28-Mar.31, 2024. He is a contemporary American printmaker/painter.  While the essence of his creative work is found in nature, it is not an attempt to literally portray the local landscape or its inhabitants.  Rather, his images become abstractions of his experiences, arrived at through memory, automatism and the subconscious.  He has always been intrigued with the materials of printmaking—copper, limestone, mordant and ink.  A vague idea, chance and the extraordinary potential of these elements are compelling considerations. Dormer is an Emeritus Professor of Art at Colorado State University where he chaired the Printmaking program for twenty-five years.  His paintings, drawings and prints have been exhibited in over 140 National and International juried and invitational exhibitions.  He has been a member of The Boston Printmakers since 2007.  James lives and has his studio in Fort Collins, Colorado.  

On view February 28 through March 31, 2024.
