“As an artist I have a job to do.  My handmade environment expresses my personal moral vision. I am 
obliged to educate and activateothers.  All of us are nature and nature is us. When we harm nature, we harm ourselves and our ability to sustain ourselves on theplanet. Everyone must protect and restore the natural world if we are to survive.”My work is valued when people take time to look past beauty and experience the sense of place and what it means to lose it, move from passive observer to activist:  When they inhabit the world the way I inhabit my garden.”

I am a Cuban Tree Frog.
Do you know frog populations have declined dramatically since
threatened with extinction and more than 120 species are
suspected to be extinct since the 1980s. Many environmental
scientists believe that amphibians, including frogs, are excellent
biological indicators of broader ecosystem health because of their
intermediate position in food webs, permeable skins, and typically
biphasic life (aquatic larvae and terrestrial adults).

Welcome to  my home!  I live in the heart of historic Key West,
Florida in a tiny jewel called Nancy Forrester’s Secret Garden.  
I hide in a small orchid garden within  an collection of orchids,
bromeliads, aroids, cycads, ferns and bananas.   The most ardent
plant lovers find this tiny garden gratifying, spiritually uplifting and
visually gorgeous.
