This image instead considers frogs in all their variety; different facets of a single frog; the spatial and biological relationship of a frog to its environment; and, most of all, the delight humans feel when simply contemplating the existence of frogs. It depicts the joy of frogness, which remains when the material frog is absent.

Having been to a lot of the natural reserves in California, I'm always constantly inspired by the forests and natural surroundings I have seen with the plants, animals, and frogs!!

Tan Small Gods, 2026 Watercolor on paper Description: Across these four watercolor studies, frogs emerge as watchful, expressive characters, each possessing its own quiet personality and sense of presence. Loose washes of greens and blues evoke their natural habitats, while jewel-like eyes, vivid markings, and unexpected gestures draw attention to the individuality of each subject. Moving between naturalistic observation and gentle anthropomorphism, the collection explores the strange familiarity we instinctively find in other creatures: solemn, curious, exuberant, and faintly absurd. Together, the paintings elevate these small amphibians from inhabitants of the landscape to its protagonists, inviting the viewer into a world in which the frogs seem to be observing us as intently as we observe them. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b97ef8489c17243b06ce9f3/1788408147077-ES39926UM7WAPW122U1C/IMG_0393%2B-%2BSophia%2BChan.jpg Frog Fest Sophia Chan Bay Amphibian Rapid Transit (BART), 2026 Pencil, paper, watercolor Description: “Now boarding at: Downtown Berkeley. This is a red line train to: Ribbitmond.” is how I imagine the overhead announcement at this Bay Amphibian Rapid Transit station. Like how BART brings humans together, here I imagine how BART could bring amphibians together, whether it’s a salamander couple taking their eggs to a health checkup, a frog commuting for work, or a caecilian waiting for a family member. I aimed to capture the experience of navigating around and with fellow travelers in the bustle of reaching end destinations. Amphibians have places to be too, after all. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b97ef8489c17243b06ce9f3/1788406875538-4PRNNMPF33E64E99KVU2/IMG_1105+-+Raffi+Altman-Allen.jpeg Frog Fest Raffi Altman-Allen An Ode to the California Toad, 2026 Pencil on paper, printed poetry Description: It is a poem about the California toad accompanied by an illustration of said toad https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b97ef8489c17243b06ce9f3/1788406876697-YY0QLK3MOBFLEHX3F47V/IMG_1312+-+Rachel+Cotroneo.jpeg Frog Fest Cyrus (13 years old) Hella frog, 2016 Paper pencil colored pencils tape Description: Frogs are beautiful and art of them can bring people joy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b97ef8489c17243b06ce9f3/1788408169646-55SUL8VHMN2CJT2CS4UX/IMG_4689.jpg Frog Fest Marko Yamagata Surinam Toad (a.k.a. Pipa Pipa), One of 8 works made in August 2026. They fresh. Gouache paint with rubber cement resist in the plastic sheets Description: These works represent an exploration of the physical flexibility and evolutionary adaptability of frogs taken from a comically serious and/or seriously comic perspective. Some are a nod to the late, great ceramic artist David Gilhooly (particularly the framed faux frogs of the Regency era). The other works employed rubber cement as a masking fluid to create crisp white lines that resist the gouache paint.
