Amelia

 

“In today’s fast world, life sometimes becomes complicated and stressful. My art is not. It’s elegant, stylish, whimsical, and pure fun.” - Tim Cotterill Its location is the first thing that sets the Marcus Ashley Gallery apart from other art exhibition venues. South Lake Tahoe, with its breathtaking mountain and lake views, is a tourist’s delight. The second thing is the unrivaled variety of art pieces from California’s best. To this famous and respected coterie belongs the Tim Cotterill art collection by the sculptor who goes by the moniker Frogman. From time to time, Frogman deviates from his frog sculptures and allows his mind to take flight. Amelia, for instance, is a bird finely and lovingly chiseled from bronze. A tribute to Amelia Earhart, the first lady of flight, it embodies the courage of the pioneer female aviator to soar towards previously unchartered heights. Amelia showcases Frogman’s passion for capturing nature’s little creatures in metal pieces that humans can endlessly admire. His detailed signature carving demonstrates an unerring devotion to the inhabitants of the air. The bird’s mottled amber back and wings reflect the artist’s superior craftsmanship in capturing the beauty of hues that only nature can produce. This is one piece made extra special by the sun-bleached deer antler on which the bird perches majestically. It can be viewed at the gallery or on the Marcus Ashley online exhibition.
