Carole A. Feuerman is a sculptor who makes incredibly realistic sculptures, capturing the essence of summer right down to the tiniest water droplets.
Some of her newest work from 2014 includes amazing sculptures of Olympians like Lauen Perdue, as well as other swimmers, beach-ready in their swim caps, goggles and bathing suits. Other elements that are frequently seen in Feuerman's sculptures include inflatables that are either abstracted or realistic representations of pool toys.
The amazing art pieces are created from resin that is later painted to look extremely hyper-realistic. Some of the sculptures are so incredibly life-like, it looks like the swimming women have just emerged from the water and that the water drops on their bodies could drip to the floor at any moment.
