Thomas Dambo is the artist who created the troll in Pease Park. Dambo and local volunteers built her out of 80 percent recycled, repurposed, or found materials. Some of it is wood from the old water tower at the J.J. Pickle Research Campus, and there's seating made from an old pecan tree in the Govalle area that died.
