This is a letter of recommendation we received in 2018 from Jami Duffy, Executive Director of Youth on Record
Dorothy Tanner and Lumonics are true treasures in our Denver Community. The
collective works of this group – a team which has been together for over four decades –
is inspiring on many levels. As a cohort, this group of friends and comrades has brought
to life the vision of Dorothy – to use light as a means of healing, and to produce art that
has no other option but to bring joy to the viewer. Not many people can say they’ve
dedicated their entire life to the single craft of creating, healing, and joy building.
Dorothy and her team have done this – and as she enters the final chapter in a life well
lived, recognition for her achievements is long overdue.
-Jami Duffy, Denver Arts Advocate, Denver Cultural Affairs Commission Member, Artist,
& Executive Director of Youth on Record.
