On the darkest day in America’s recent history, Ann Froman felt compelled to create the masterpiece known today as Heroes of 9/11. The memorial would combine two strong messages: the acknowledgement of this unthinkable tragedy, and the ability to rise above it and look to the future. Yet due to an accident that partially blinded her for over 2 1/2 years, her vision for this tribute could not be immediately realized. Thanks to her eye doctors, whom she considers everyday heroes, Froman was finally able to create the memorial of her dreams. Froman believes there are heroes all around us, not just firefighters and policeman, but teachers and mothers, and the Good Samaritan on the street; these are everyday heroes. It is her hope that these depictions of unity and courage will help to inspire the next generation of heroes.

This exquisite one of a kind piece stands approximately 9 feet tall and is sculpted in bronze and acrylic. In a powerful vision and tribute to the men and women who gave their lives on 9/11, this memorial sculpture features a firefighter turning into an angel and guiding the departed to heaven. The sculpture is available for purchase. A portion of the proceeds will go to several of the charities that Ann Froman is involved with.

Liz Smith said, “Ann’s works of art are heroic and truly inspiring. She is a sculptor extraordinaire.”

Internationally recognized for her work in bronze and acrylic, Ann Froman has successfully bridged the gap between museum masterpieces and timeless works of art for the collector.
