Tim Cotterill was born in Liecester, England, in 1950, and left school
at fifteen to complete a six year engineering apprenticeship. This
metal directed education provided a sound base for Tim's subsequent
career in the arts.Intrigued with metalworking, Tim moved into the sculpture of radical wheeled vehicles, later finding his peak interest in the design of animals and birds during the 70's and 80's. Over 1000 original steel, bronze and gold bird sculptures have been sold world wide; many through Sotheby's auction house in London.
Tim's curiosity of the diverse lifestyles in California led to many
trips to the USA. Emigrating to California in 1990, he exhibited and
sold his art all across America. These new high energy surroundings
brought out the fun in his art. Tim is now fully focused on Frogs.
His bronze sculptures capture the whimsical character, the jewel-like
quality, and pure JOY of these beautiful little creatures.
