Jennifer Ramirez is an art teacher and known for her creativity. She has been making snow sculptures in her suburban yard for the past 10 years. During the COVID-19 pandemic, she made chalk drawings for her privacy fence, drawing admiration and affection from her neighbors. She says she does these public displays of her artwork to inspire her students and make people smile.
On January 26, she shoveled (铲) the fresh snow from her driveway and her neighbor’s driveway. The next day, she used the snow to make sharks. It took about four hours to carve the sharks. Once she shared photos of her work on Facebook, the story went viral with thousands of likes and shares. Everyone agrees this is a clever and fun way to make use of all that white stuff. Weeks later, the sharks are still circling Jennifer’s front lawn, and she’s seen her work printed in major magazines and featured on the evening news. The state governor, Gretchen Whitmer, even came to take a picture! “Well, you know you’ve done something pretty good when the Governor shows up on your lawn to pose with your shark sculptures,” Jennifer wrote on Facebook.
Jennifer goes out every day after work to repair her sculptures in hopes of keeping them around for as long as possible. If they get more snow in her area, she already has ideas to add to the sharky scene. “If they’re going to stay up, I’m going to try and do some penguins, and maybe some seals with the sharks,” she said. “… If they melt then I have a different idea but I don’t want to share it because I just want everybody to be surprised.”
