Beau Smith's whimsical frogs read to children, play music, lift weights, practice golf, greet visitors, toast to happy occasions, and more.

Beau Smith is a Renaissance artist. He is a sculptor, writer, singer/songwriter, and painter. For the past 20 years, Smith has been a professional sculptor of large, human-sized copper frogs. These frog sculptures are similar to bronze frog sculpture. His work is in parks, gardens, and other public places. He has exhibited his sculptures at the Atlanta Botanical Gardens and in many galleries across the country as well as abroad.

Smith grew up in a family of artists. He painted, sculpted, played guitar and wrote songs and stories from teenage years on. From his father, Smith learned the craft of direct metal sculpture.
Smith pursued college and graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Rhode Island School of Design where he studied film animation and illustration. The experience was essential to developing his artistic approach.

Following his undergraduate education, he worked numerous jobs in graphic arts while exhibiting his paintings and sculpture. Later, he began making and selling the large human-sized copper frog sculptures that his father originated.

You can view recent permanent installations of public sculpture at Clifton Park-Half Moon Public Library in Clifton Park, NY; Thrasher Park in Norcross, GA; and downtown Smyrna, GA.
