Glenna Goodacre's career in the visual arts spans over four decades, and in the last twenty years she has become well known for bronze sculptures.  She specializes in expressive, sensitive portraits of children in action, always with an emphasis upon interesting composition.  Her most important commission to date,  the Vietnam Women's Memorial at the Vietnam "Wall" in Washington, D. C., was dedicated in 1993 to honor the women who served in Vietnam.

Goodacre was born in Texas, graduated from Colorado College, and studied at the Art Students League in New York.  Since 1983 her home and studio are in Santa Fe, New Mexico.  Her work has won numerous awards from the National Sculpture Society and Allied Artists of America, in addition to the prestigious Gold Medal from the National Academy of Design, of which she is an associate.  In 1993 Goodacre was awarded the Knickerbocker Artists' Gold Medal for Distinguished Achievement in American Art.
