Carole A. Feuerman is acknowledged, alongside Duane Hanson and John D’Andrea, as one of the three major American hyperrealist sculptors that started the movement in the 1970s. Feuerman’s career spans over four decades and four continents. At the heart of her sculptures are visual stories of strength, survival, and balance.

Feuerman has taught, lectured, and given workshops at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Solomon Guggenheim Museum, Columbia University and Grounds for Sculpture.

In 2007, Feuerman had a solo exhibition in Venice called "Bellezza E Beressaze: By the Sea" in the Venice Biennale, curated by John T. Spike, featuring her monumental sculpture Survival of Serena for the first time. In 2008, Survival of Serena was chosen "Best in Show" at the Beijing Biennale and was exhibited at the National Museum of China.
