Carole A. Feuerman’s ‘My Hyperrealist Life and Legacy’ depicts, with vivid accuracy, the highs and lows of an artist’s life. Based on Carole’s true-life story, the book dives deep into her experiences.
Carole A. Feuerman (born 1945) is an American sculptor and author working in Hyperrealism. She is one of the three major artists credited with starting the movement in the late 1970s. She is the only woman to sculpt in this style. Her career is highlighted by iconic figurative works of swimmers and dancers. She has been included in exhibitions at the Smithsonian Institution’s National Portrait Gallery; the State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, Russia; the Venice Biennale; and Palazzo Strozzi Palace in Florence, Italy, among others.
Growing up in New York, Feuerman was deterred from being an artist. She attended Hofstra University, Temple University, and graduated from the school of Visual Arts in New York City to begin her career as an illustrator. During the early 1970s she went by the artist’s name Carole Jean, illustrating for The New York Times and creating album covers for Alice Cooper and the Rolling Stones.
In 1981, Feuerman was chosen by a jury at the Heckscher Museum in Long Island where she exhibited. After this she was invited to participate in the ‘Learning through the Arts Program’ at the Guggenheim Museum.
VIEW MORE“Through my sculptures I convey my feelings about life and art. It is far easier for me to express my emotions through sculpture than through words. In this way, my work speaks to the viewer, evoking both an emotional and an intellectual response.”
I was born in Hartford, CT, on an army base. I was my parents’ first child, and they named me Carole Jean Ackerman.
Playing with colors over the canvas brought peace to my soul even when I was as young as five years old.
Water has always been a sanctuary for me. To swim beneath its surface and know that I’m touching eternity.
The world knows Carole A. Feuerman for the amazing sculptor she is, but few come to know about her behind the scenes. This book will take readers to a journey of inspiration, determination, and faith that Carole underwent to reach where she is today.

There has never been a time where I went to an art exhibition and not stopped to admire Ms. Carole’s work. The idea and just the details behind it makes you want to think “now what this piece could mean?” If you are yet to witness her work in real… make sure to take out time.
The new book by Carole was a long time coming. I’ve been waiting for her to release a book that tells everything about her with her own words. It seems like she’s talking to you face to face. A great book indeed!
This is just one of those books that as soon as you reached the last word, you feel inspired to live out your dream regardless of your current situation. This book has pushed me to be an artist at 19. Gonna use Carole Feuerman as my mentor.
Wished I had this in my hands long time ago. I guess there is no specific age to become a sculptor. I was a learning student, and now a teacher for Art class. I also have my own little business to be proud of – all because I was inspired by Carole’s approach of swimmers.
