NATICK - A Natick artist is turning trash into Boston Marathon treasure. You can find her work along the route on Monday.

Karen Connell has an insurance company that sits near the ten-mile mark of the race. During the pandemic, she started recycling Dunkin' cups, and turning them into art pieces. Between her and her coworkers, she believes the office uses 3,000 cups a year. Those have now become signs and art installations like Big Foot and the Citgo sign.

"I'm a Boston girl, so I love me my Dunkin' right? I can't live without it," laughs Connell. "It was hard to get rid of the trash. They were kicking around my house, so I started making things out of them."
