Penelope Jencks
American sculptor
Penelope Jencks (born 1936 in Baltimore, Maryland, USA) is an American sculptor and a graduate of Boston University (BFA, 1958). Her public works include a statue of the historian Samuel Eliot Morison (1982) on Commonwealth Ave. in Boston, Massachusetts; a statue of Eleanor Roosevelt (1996) in New York City's Riverside Park; and a statue of Robert Frost (2007) at Amherst College, Amherst, Massachusetts.
A common characteristic of all three works is the geological character of the base, in the form of sculpted rocks and boulders, supporting the bronze figure.
