Having both parents (Donald and Barbara Frith) as professional artists in the art world influenced me early in life to appreciate modern art, design and structure. Ever since I was a child, I have always had an admiration for Alexander Calder and his art mobiles and paintings. After personally viewing his work in museums and art galleries around the world, I was intrigued by his balance of shapes and design with the added "fun" feeling as I watched the mobiles move and dance. I started making mobiles in the late 1960's for fun as a kid. Designing my own style of mobile art, I started with recycled materials and found materials. As I got more serious and galleries were wanting my work, I stuck with plastic as the medium, and found it to be light in weight, colorful and durable. The internet has made a new world for me. I work everyday on my website, updating, taking new photos, making videos, and corresponding daily with inquiring clients.The majority of my mobiles are in private homes, but I do have many hanging in galleries, hospitals, corporate businesses and science museums. Making mobiles makes me happy, and I hope when you see them you get this uplifting spirit too! -Julie
