James is a Fine Arts graduate of 2021 based in Austin, Texas, and Dale Novak is a Denver-based Illustration graduate of 2015. As practicing professional artists, James and Novak each exemplify a dedication to their craft and exploration of their subject matter that will be highlighted in their respective exhibits, Gimmicked and Starstomper, opening Friday June 13, 2025 in the Rotunda Gallery. For more from the artists:

K. James is a multidisciplinary artist. Their images, videos, and sculptures center on the dynamic world of professional wrestling to explore intimacy, consent, boundaries, and violence. Since graduating from Rocky Mountain College of Art + Design, James has returned to their home state of Texas. Based in Austin, they made countless two-hour drives to San Antonio several times a week to build trust with various independent wrestling promotions— by working odd jobs, building props and sets, designing posters and merch, and photographing training sessions and matches. James’s devoted immersion earned them unprecedented camaraderie and behind-the-scenes access to this imperfect but beloved community. They are now a key member of the Austin-based Uncanny Attractions production team.
