Webster Lake, located at E. B. Rains Jr. Memorial Park, is a 10 acre lake characterized by a shallow lake bottom, shoreline and a fishery stocked by the Colorado Division of Wildlife. Numerous aquatic plant species provide a quality ecosystem, which adds to the more natural lake setting and an improved aesthetic quality. We invite you to come to Webster Lake and experience a day of fishing, walking, or renting paddleboats.

Site 1
Ascension
Artist: Ryan T. Schmidt, Arkansas
Medium: Stainless Steel
Height: 96”
$25,000
Ascension directly refers to the supernatural passage into heaven by Christ on the fortieth day following Easter. Transformational movement on earth and in the skies are both seen in the mirror of the sculpture, stirring contemplation of one’s own mortality and existence for eternity; the abstract truth. The three vessels
represent the mind, body, and spirit of those who are reaching towards the heavens in worship and expectation for the return of the King! | |
Site 2
Faery (Sitting)
Artist: Dejan Pejovic, New York
Medium: Bronze
Height: 34”
$6,500
This sitting Faery is one of a series of three Faeries intended for garden
placement. It is part of a larger theme of feminine grace and mythology. In
gesture the seated Faery expresses a sense of reverie and contemplation derived from a state of grace. | |
Site 3
Promise
Artist: Ruth Burink, Colorado
Medium: Marble
Height: 66”
$25,000
Promise is a powerful, elegant, and graceful sculpture carved from beautiful white Colorado marble. The sculpture’s
movement is upward from a strongly grounded base suggesting the image of a dove—the symbol of hope and optimism, and of a guardian angel—the symbol of a power for humankind’s benefit. The artist has observed the negative effects of
pessimism and cynicism on our lives. Promise is her response. | |
Site 4
Inside Out
Artist: Nestor Fedak, Colorado
Medium: Modified Cement/Stucco
Height: 74”
$2,000
Inside Out, an abstract three-dimensional sculpture, stands on its own, occupying its space and commanding attention. Once drawn in, its subtle curves and the interplay of light and shadow transform the work to a more natural and fluid form that changes depending on the time of day, and how you feel at the moment. | |
Site 5
Hop Along Kid
Artist: George Manus, New Mexico
Medium: Welded Steel
Height: 62”
$7,500
This sculpture is a fun, whimsical depiction of a cowboy frog that is intended to be
appealing to all ages. The material used in the fabrication of this sculpture is recycled steel. Hop Along’s message to us is: “waste not; want not.” And ... have fun while doing it! | |
Site 6
Continuous Line in Space
Artist: Michael Orgel, New Mexico
Medium: Indiana Limestone/Steel
Height: 52”
$22,500
This work is based on an endless edge
that defines a central negative space. It
was modeled after a broken seashell,
which was not only a beautiful form—
but like natural water and wind-sculpted
bridges—also structurally sound.
Limestone gives body to Continuous Line in Space by joining its circuitous adjacent parts and forming a delicate, spiraling, upper bridge portion of the work, and a long curving channel through the lower body of the piece. |
