September 21, 2011: I took an impulsive day-trip to Grand Rapids, Michigan – for the annual Art Prize 2011 – and got rewarded by meeting one of my favorite sculptors, Carole A. Feurman! And Sep 21 was her Birthday. Happy Belated Birthday Carole!
Carole A. Feuerman is recognized as a pioneering figure in the world of hyperrealist sculpture.

From Feurman website.. Together with Duane Hanson and John De Andrea, her contemporaries, she was one of the three leaders in making life like sculptures that portray their models precisely. While Hanson used uniforms and props to achieve a Pop Art irony, and De Andrea continues to explore the love relationships of men and women, Feuerman’s sculptures have always visualized a natural beauty and a sense of inner peace. Dubbed ‘the reigning doyenne of super-realism’ by art historian John Spike, Feuerman has solidified her place in the rhetoric of art history.

From the Art prize website..
The collaborative work, whose theme is water, took over a year to create, and reflects the timeless innocence of youth. The sun shining on the child’s face, her arms around the colorful beach ball, and the sandy shore remind us of a time of peaceful playfulness, where nothing else matters but the moment. Those quiet, in-between moments where you connect with your thoughts and your soul. With “Serenity Lake”, the viewer waits for the child to open her eyes while we wonder what she is thinking..
