Tim Cotterill immigrated to California in 1990 where Tim has since devoted himself solely to the creation of his unique bronze frog sculptures. Tim Cotterill speaks of his work saying, "Through the centuries and throughout the world, frogs have symbolized many things - Good Luck, Royalty, Fertility, and Energy. In today's fast world, life sometimes becomes complicated and stressful. My art is not. It's elegant, stylish, whimsical, and pure fun. As children we were excited to see our first frogs. They made us laugh when they jumped our way! We were curious about the strange way they felt; the odd way they moved and their simple contented look. I used to watch frogs at my pond in England, noting how each one had its own color markings, character and even personality." - Tim Cotterill.
