UNCLE FREDDY'S GALLERY
2635B Highway Avenue Highland, IN 46322 Ph. 219.923.1909

ABOUT THE GALLERY

Founded in 2002, Uncle Freddy’s Gallery is the creation of Tom Torluemke and Linda Dorman. Named in honor of Torluemke’s deaf and mute Uncle Freddy who lived with Tom and his family. During Tom’s childhood, Tom and Uncle Freddy would spend many of their days together and in order to communicate, they would draw pictures to each other describing what each wanted to do that day. This form of visual communication is what Tom attributes to his lifelong passion and calling.

 

GALLERY MISSION

Uncle Freddy’s Gallery reveals cutting-edge contemporary art. We support the notion that the work of an artist is truly an invention, a creation of a universal language of form, composition, design and technique developed to communicate expressively to the senses of humanity.
