Description Frogs are creatures of great importance. As creatures that live in two worlds, water and land, Frogs are revered for their adaptability, knowledge and power to transverse worlds and inhabit both natural and supernatural realms. Frogs are primary spirit helpers of Shamans. A great communicator, Frogs often represent the Common Ground or Voice of the People. Frogs songs are believed to contain divine power and magic. When shown in art as touching or sharing their tongues with another creature, Frogs represent an exchange of knowledge and power.
Lon French, Esquimalt Member Since November 2013 Artist Statement I’m a Haida graphic artist that has been doing Haida art since the end of 2012. At that time, I decided I needed to change the direction of my life. This is when I started learning about my family from Haida Gwaii. I researched Haida art and learned the basic forms. Then I started playing with designs and developed my own style. That style has evolved and continues to evolve the more I do. I have tried to stay traditional and have on the most part but feel that to grow as an artist I must be open to change. As I continue on my new path I’ll try new things and learn more about tradition also and that will reflect in my work. Mostly, I’m self taught but I was also initially taught for a short time by George Hunt Jr. at S J Willis Secondary back in the early ‘80s. I hope you enjoy my designs and follow my journey of discovery in the world of Haida art.
