ARTIST'S STATEMENT
In the mythology of many cultures frogs are linked to cleansing, healing and creative powers. The change from egg to tadpole then metamorphosis to frog is often used to symbolise the awakening of ones creativity and recognising one's own power of adaptation. It is a reminder of our own ability to grow and mature when faced with difficult situations. A strong frog population is an indication of a healthy ecology due to their sensitivity to changes and toxins in their environment. Frogs therefore are naturally symbols of a peaceful, harmonious coexistence and interdependence with nature. Frogs  because of this sensitivity  serve  as  a strong lesson about our own interdependence within a fragile eco-system. Teaching a connection with the earth and everything on it. Sadly in some areas numbers of frogs seem to be dwindling.
 
Frog populations have been declining worldwide at unprecedented rates, and nearly one-third of the world’s 6,418 amphibian species are threatened with extinction. At least 100 species have completely disappeared since 1980, and this is NOT normal: amphibians naturally go extinct at a rate of only about one species every 250 years!
 
Folk wisdom tells that dreaming of a frog means
good fortune, happiness and great friendships.
May your dreams be filled with frogs...

ORIGINAL ARTIST PRINTS
These prints are the artwork's original physical form, NOT reproductions. This art work was created digitally, through painting by hand with an electronic pen on a digital drawing tablet, directly onto a computer. The process of creating an art image digitally restricts the physical presentation of the artwork to printed form. So like wood blocks, etchings, screen printing and photography, it is not possible to have any other physical representation. Each print comes with a signed certificate of Authenticity directly from the artist along with a written artist statement about the image that you are purchasing, a brief bio and an information sheet about how to care for artwork on paper.

MATERIAL QUALITY
Printed on high quality 240gm 100% cotton, acid-free, archival, fine art paper. A3 size (approx 11.5 x 16.5 inch = 29.7x42cm). Includes a signed certificate of authenticity which incorporates an artist statement, a brief artist's bio and an information sheet about how to care for art on paper. The artwork will be posted flat, sandwiched between thick cardboard so that it will NOT be rolled or creased.
