She is best known for her work in the Boston, Massachusetts area, notably her bronze duck and ducklings in the Boston Public Garden, a recreation of the duck family in Robert McCloskey's children's classic Make Way for Ducklings. It is featured on the Boston Women's Heritage Trail. Schön graduated from Boston's Museum School in 1952. Her series, The Reflective Giraffe, with a giraffe as the central icon, is a tribute to her husband Donald Alan Schön.
