Sculptures of Carol Gasper
When Carol Gasper was in the 5th grade, she saw a Breyer Proud Arabian Mare and felt that she had 'died and gone to heaven'. She built her collection of original finish models, and learned about remaking when she visited the home of collector Patty Brannen. After that visit in the mid 1980's, she started repainting and reworking her Breyers. Not satisfied with remaking, she began creating original sculptures after nearby resident Kathleen Moody showed her how to make an armature.
About a dozen horses have been produced in resin, and she has also sculpted for Breyer/Reeves International. Besides her sculptures, Carol is also an accomplished two-dimensional artists, capturing the beauty of the horse in oils, chalks, pastels and water colors.
