Artist Bio: Glenna Goodacre (1939-2020) was born in Lubbock, Texas, studied at Colorado College and the Art Students League in New York, and spent most of her career in Santa Fe, New Mexico. She began as a painter and turned to bronze in the late 1960s, becoming one of the best known figurative sculptors in the United States. Her work centered on people, children at play, dancers, Native American figures and portraits, modeled with a warm, naturalistic touch that keeps the marks of her hands in the surface.

Two public commissions made her name known across the country. The Vietnam Women's Memorial in Washington, D.C., dedicated in 1993, shows three nurses tending a wounded soldier and honors the women who served in that war. In 1999 her design was chosen for the obverse of the Sacagawea golden dollar, first issued in 2000, showing the young Shoshone guide carrying her infant son. Her smaller bronzes share the intimate, tactile quality of the monumental work. This bronze plaque, signed by the artist, is mounted on a wood base.
