Whats Happening at J. Cotter Gallery:
J. Cotter Gallery is Ready for the Winter Season
All of us at the J. Cotter Gallery are very excited for the upcoming winter season. Both the Vail and Beaver Creek Galleries have been working very hard to make sure that we are ready for Vail Mountain to open the 18th and Beaver Creek Mountain to open on the 23rd.
Merrily Tompkins at J. Cotter Gallery
One of the folk art jewelers of our time is now showing her work at the J. Cotter Gallery in Vail and Beaver Creek. Merrily's art jewelry is truly original and always reflects a personal narrative. She has never imitated another style or embraced an art movement, although many have tried to imitate the style that she has created for over forty years.
