JAMES KILLIAN SPRATT: His starving artist days turned brighter. In his 20s he sculpted a horse head piece called "Flaming Mane" in just two hours in the middle of the night at a time when he was worried about raising his young family. Years later he would cherish the work as his "gold record." In the 1970s Austin Productions of Holbrook, N.Y., one of the largest producers in the world of small art objects, appointed Spratt as sculptor in residence, commissioning him to create original figurines and statuettes.
Spratt was born in Frankfurt, Germany, on April 4, 1960. His family moved to Hendersonville North Carolina in 1952, and considered it home upon His death in 2016.
