Often referred to as the "canaries of wetlands," toads and frogs serve as vital indicators of ecosystem health, yet many species are now endangered. This vibrant orange ceramic toad, sitting atop a ceramic plinth, commands attention with its bold presence. A whimsical caricature of these essential amphibians, the piece invites viewers to appreciate their unique charm while reflecting on the urgent need to protect their habitats and ensure their survival. Winner of the sculptural competition of the Calgary Stampede.
