Congrats to Our Local Artists in Grand Junction

Grand Junction is thanking local artist Pavia Justinian for her outstanding work and the three pieces of artwork now on display in the Redlands. The small herd of bighorn sheep was added to the roundabout over the weekend.

What Are These Bighorn Sheep Made Of?

Pavia Justinian used all kinds of scrap parts to put her artwork together. The rams in the roundabout are crafted from salvaged fenders from older vehicles. The steel was then shaped into the colorful representation that decorates this intersection.
