“It’s not about what it is.
It’s about what it can become.”
But Why Frogs?
Because having frogs around is a sign of a healthy art ecosystem. And we’re here to help you evolve.
Have you ever noticed how an artist’s journey is similar to that of a frog’s lifecycle? You’re born with a desire to create. You become inspired by the community around you. With access to supplies and showcase opportunities, your artistic legs develop and you begin experimenting, defining your creative style and process. Then you emerge - you’ve “become.” You are more fully developed into what you were intended to be. Then you launch into the lifelong journey of sharing how your evolution has shaped your artistic voice.
Welcome to the chorus! Be loud. Be proud.
About Us
As a mother, daughter, and wife of someone coping with Dyslexia, Dysgraphia, or Dyscalculia, Malaura originally created FrogPatch as a means to provide a creative business outlet for her family should the challenge of holding a neuro-typical job become too challenging. Now, FrogPatch has evolved into a full-time collaboration with her daughter Melanie. Together, they advocate for, and organize safe, inclusive, creative opportunities for artists of all ages. Their reduce, reuse, recycle approach keeps events and art financially accessible.
You can learn more about their personal art at @malaurabrickerart and @mab13artstudios.
