Frost Desk Sets
Don Frost Peterborough was born Don Frost, had his future path laid out for him by winning the first prize in a city-wide art exhibition at age six in grade one. The following year, at age seven, Frost had a group showing at the Peterborough Public Library. Public school had its usual trials and tribulations, and it was not until grade 10 that Frost discovered that he was color blind to all but the primary colors. At this point, his life took a right turn, and sculpture was all that he focused on. He teamed up with a friend in grade 11, who became his art agent and they enjoyed considerable success in the Peterborough area. After high school, Frost took some time off to do his art and apprentice as a mechanic for a year. In 1973–74, he attended Sheridan College, followed by a decision to become a professional sculptor having just received a commission for a large 15-feet tall sculpture for a new mall built in Peterborough, Ontario. This was followed by the creation of the largest sculpture in Canada in 1983, by winning a competition for an indoor work for the Michael Starr Building in Oshawa, Ontario. Always seeking new outlets for art, Frost acquired an art agent in Ottawa, which led to an introduction to a patron who kept him busy, creating more than 40 sculptures in 20 years. Frost’s work internationally was recently a commission for four large works for a garden in Club Medjulis in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Previous to this in an expansive design project by the late King Hussein for a 1.6 km wall of huge relief panels commemorating the history of Jordan, Frost’s work on six of these panels was accepted by King Abdullah. Experiencing notoriety for the global uniqueness of his art, Frost was presented with awards from Peterborough County and commemorated in the Walk of Fame. Presently, Frost has art representatives across the United States and Canada and one on-ground/online gallery in Turkey just for pure fun. “I always thought Turkey for Christmas would be the perfect vacation,” he says. The greatest work of his career now stands as The Resurrection Cross outside the Catholic School Board office on Lansdowne Street in Peterborough, Ontario.
