TIM COTTERILL, The Frogman
| Born in England, Tim describes his childhood "On my bicycle roaming the green English countryside in search of frogs, slipping into ponds and being dragged out by some observant adult." He found himself in later years totally unfulfilled with factory life but armed with metal working skills. His creativity blossomed and sculptures exploded out the doors of his dad's garage. His exotic steel, bronze and gold bird sculptures are now sought after and are in collections world wide. A burst of creativity brought out the fun in his art, fully focusing his attention on frogs. Through the centuries and throughout the world, frogs have symbolized many things and good luck, royalty, fertility, magic potions, energy, charm and more. "In today's fast world," He says, "life sometimes becomes complicated and stressful. When we smile and laugh, it releases endomorphines through our body and mind. The more we smile, laugh and feel happy, the healthier we become." So his recommendation is to put more fun and joy around you, starting of course with one of his frogs |
