Frogman Tim Cotterill
Frogman-Tim Cotterill
Tim was born in Leicester, England, in 1950. He left school at the age of 15 and began a six year electrical engineering apprentice -ship, moving onto landscape design/construction and stone masonry after completing his apprenticeship.
Intrigued with metal-working and fast machines, Tim started designing and building radical wheeled vehicles in his spare time. He found his peak interest in the design of welded steel animals and birds during the 1970s. His work was well received through private commission, exhibitions, galleries, and Sotheby’s world renowned auction house in London.
Tim’s curiosity of the diverse lifestyles in California led to many trips to the USA, where his life sized one-off welded steel owls, parrots, eagles, and hawks were an instant hit at street art shows coast to coast. Over 380 original welded steel sculptures were created from 1972-1990. Emigrating to California in 1990 and living in a rented 4 car garage in Venice Beach he started designing his now famous bronze frogs. He quickly discovered everyone loved them.
Now, years later and proudly an American citizen Tim resides in “PARADISE”, his own funky structure in an industrial area of Venice Beach in the beautiful southern California.
With over 250 limited edition bronze frog designs and over 800 different variations under his belt, Tim thought it was time to go back to his roots by introdu- cing bird sculptures. The Aviary Collection is now available, featuring Tim’s favorite birds.
Artifacts Gallery is proud to be on of Tim’s original galleries and has represented his works since the 1990s
