Gum Drops
By Carrie Quade, Installed 2007
I graduated from the University of Delaware with a degree in Art Education. My life-long interest in animals led me through a variety of jobs in all phases of the horse business, working at zoos with exotic animals and assisting local veterinarians. After the birth of my three daughters, I began to spend time on artistic pursuits and found that I loved working in clay. I combined a knowledge of animals and my talents for producing three-dimensional work in the form of pottery and sculpture. The early ceramic work centered on equestrian themes and slowly began to take on more abstract forms, taking the sculpture to another level.
I am always delighted by unusual projects.
