Caron O'Neil, an artist who sees great potential in things (discarded objects) that others don’t, creates stunning artwork with them. For this retired park ranger from Bear Creek Canyon rusty metal, worn wood and dried bones is her treasure. One of her very popular creations is "Waiting to Hatch", which has twigs rising out from the top of a piece of weather-beaten wood, a round ivory face and one long slender arm. A pair of wings rests just above the arm and small egg lies at the bottom.
