Former River East Collegiate Drama Teacher, Tim Froese has now become a sculptor. Amidst his bouts of occasional substitute teaching, he has now entered into the realm of artist, by finding a way to market his one-time hobby of clay sculpting. With his knack for the strange and somewhat off-kilter, his cats are right where he should be.
With the official launch of his pieces, he opened his home to many friends, family, art enthusiasts and former students. With his narrow Wolsely home filled with well-wishers, it was a cozy little gathering. As Tim (Penner) and I arrived at the shindig, there were already close to twenty-five people all about. The Free Press had a photographer there, getting a fair number of angles of the man and his cats. Penner was called in as live music, strumming away on his six-string, as I wandered about the abode with my camera, taking shots of the still, glazed felines.
With Froese’s weird sense of creation, he had some of his more creative cats on display. A cat with green trim, and a clover leaf on its face, appropriately called Lucky. Another cubist expression named Pablo; and even a red bodied, black booted feline aptly called Nick. I was to remark to Penner later on, “Oh! I get it. Nick. As in Saint Nick. Santa……that’s clever.”
I had provided coffee on behalf of my work, and was there to pick the cambros up this morning. It turned out he had ninety people come through the doors through the course of the evening. It was a good boost, I would presume. He has a space at the Mayberry Gallery off of Corydon, and is selling through them. They are a gallery which supports many local artists. Offered up are a couple of shots of the opening, his signature Timcat; and a shot of the artist and photographer from the Press.
