Shey took 6 years of heartfelt carving by KimmerJae of Lafayette. Shey is almost 6 tons (carved down from 8 tons!) and made of Lyons Pink Sandstone. She is now a permanent part of Lyon’s Colorado public art program. Her playful interactive fixture at Bohn Park was made possible by the Lyons Arts and Humanities Commission, alongside a generous benefactor, Greg Fitzgerald.
