Monumental sculpture with the sturdiness, durability, and look of a bronze for a fraction of the cost.

Built by an artist with 20 years professional experience building human-sized copper frogs.

Original - O-R-I-G-I-N-A-L. Every frog sculpture is made by me, Beau Smith. In the 1980s, my father came up with this design. I learned from him how to make large copper frogs. The "Smith Frog" has its copycats. None of them come close to producing what I produce. The design is original, and each creation is likewise original, a one-of-a-kind sculpture.

Established but not incredibly famous. If I were incredibly famous, my sculpture would be incredibly expensive. I'm not and it isn't. One day, but not today, if you are reading this.

Affordable. Galleries inflate the price of art. I sell but through a few direct galleries. Most of my work I sell direct. You will not pay an inflated price, through me or anyone that represents me. Moreover, I deliver value exponential compared to the price.

Satisfied customers. Those who own my frogs love them.

Full of life. This is my main criteria for fine art: Does it have life? Does it have presence? A Beau Smith frog is full of life and presence.

Consistency and uniqueness. Look at the frogs I've produced. Every one is fresh, new, original... Every one is unique. Yet the frogs as a whole have a distinct, Beau Smith frog look.

Fun, be happy art of high quality. It's masterful. It's also fun and playful. This combination of fun and masterful is all too rare in art. The frogs have this quality.

The frogs hold their value. The price of a frog has steadily increased through the years. Maybe the price will incredibly leap, as has the price of copper. A slow, steady climb, however, is more reliable.

Built entirely with semi-precious, non-corrosive metals. This sculpture will be around for thousands of years. Your inhabitants will inherit an intact frog that undoubtedly has increased incredibly in value. No joke.

Solid, established reputation as an artist who delivers high quality sculpture. My sculptures are collected across the US and abroad. I am in many public places. I'm established - but not incredibly famous.

Craftsmanship beyond compare in this medium. Look around and compare my direct metal sculpture with that of other artists. What do you think? I've been doing this professionally for 20 years. I went to a prestigious art school, Rhode Island School of Design. I've been an artist all my adult life. I learned how to weld from my dad, who is also a sculptor. I have tons of experience. I make magic with the copper.

Rare. I doubt that I will forever make frogs or that my descendants will make them. I make only so many a year. At present, I do this entirely myself, with no help, no assistants, no factory workers, nothing but me, the metal, and a few essential tools.

You like it. Am I right? You like these frogs I make. You might even love them. If you owned one, you'd love it.

Okay, okay. Enough with the bullet points. I think you get it. My frog is an incredible value. It is at the current price. It will be even when the price has increased substantially. My beautifulfrog site offers a lot of information and media about the frogs. Here are some relevant links from this page:

Permanent Public Installations

The product, though, speaks for itself. Take a look at some recent frog sculptures:

Sturdy, durable, permanent, beautiful, fun, whimsical sculpture full of life and presence. You can own it for the rest of your life, and its presence will enhance your life. How often can you say that about art? Not often enough, to my mind. The opportunity you see on this page is all too rare.
