Cotter's work, jewelry

Jim Cotter (born March 13, 1944)[1] is an American jewelry designer, jewelry artist and sculpture artist known for his use of organic forms and materials not typically used in jewelry.[2][3][4] Cotter is the proprietor of the J. Cotter Gallery in Vail, Colorado since 1970.[5]

Cotter's work is currently held in the collections of the Racine Art Museum and was displayed as part of their "Precious Metals: Shining Examples from RAM’s Collection" exhibition in 2016.[6] His work has also been displayed at the National Craft Gallery in Ireland and the Taboo Gallery in San Diego, California.[7][8]

In 2017 Cotter and his gallery placed as one of the "Best of Vail" by readers of the Vail Daily.[9]

Cotter uses materials around him. A lot of his work has to do with texture, and making things look bigger than they are, or making things that should be maybe smaller or bigger.[2]
