More about the artists of Stone Horse Artist Showcase:
Caroline has had a lifelong love and fascination for animals. She has been drawing and painting them for as long as she can remember. Her encounter with a dolphin, while on a boat as a child, sparked her passion for the creatures of the oceans. Her sculptures of marine life are a result of this passion. She is well known as an equine artist and has won many awards for her work. She continues to study animals, their beauty, anatomy and habits, so she can incorporate these details into her art. Her ability to capture a moment in the life of an animal, is one of the things that collectors of her work love the most. Caroline lives in Southern California with her family, her horse and her cats and she actively volunteers on a weekly basis in her community.

I was in Pony Club for 10 years, and I love to do everything from Eventing to Speed with both of my horses.
As of now, I mainly collect Breyers, but I'm looking to expand my herd of Artist Resins as well. I'm a huge believer in "collect what you like," but I always look for a way to do that while filling my show string at the same time. For me, anything flashy goes, but I also know there's no bad color for a good horse.
I am also a freelance illustrator, specializing in cartoons. In the past, I developed The Peter Stone Company's current "Design A Horse" program (Try Before You Buy!) and have designed several runs for Moonlight Madness, the entire 2022 Classic Literature Series, and more!
My interests also wander outside the realm of equines, so make sure you check out my personal website and Instagram for more varied artwork!
Horse crazy is what I am. I've been that way as long as I can remember. At the age of six was when I started riding and then showing my pony at the 4-H fair. My buckskin pony Muffins was my mount for the first couple of years in 4-H and then my Quarter horse Tommy was the horse that I finished my 10 yr. 4-H career with. I rode huntseat, western and then my last year I started dressage.
My family did a lot of horse camping and trail riding when I was growing up. Riding horses and drawing horses were the things I loved to do. Art class was always my favorite class in school.
After high school I went on to earn my college degree in Graphic Design. I had also found my passion for dressage and started showing solely in that discipline.
A few years later I started working for the Peter Stone Company and I've been an airbrush artist there for over twenty years. In the past few years I have set up my own home studio to work in. I'm trying my hand at painting artist resins and custom horses in acrylics which is totally different than working with the factory paint on the plastic acetate horses. It's an exciting new challenge for me!
My husband Tim and I live in a small town in northern Indiana. We share our place with my two horses Ghost and Remi, our dogs Misha & Penny and our cat Happy.
Sheryl has collected model horses since 1969 and has been an active participant in the model horse collecting hobby for over 35 years.
Painting professionally since the age of fifteen, she has gone on to paint and design thousands of prototypes and special run models for Breyer, The Stone Co. and Hartland Horses.
She has also sculpted her own line of limited edition resin horses.
Horse models that Sheryl has painted and re-sculpted are consistent winners from local model horse competitions up to the National Level.
Hundreds of custom painted horses have come through her studio in the past decade, and she finds it a challenge to see how detailed a horse model can get!
