winning career. The most recognized of her completed public monuments is the Vietnam Women's Memorial in Washington, D.C. Goodacre has more than 40 bronze portraits in public collections, including sculptures of Ronald Reagan, Dwight D. Eisenhower, Greer Garson, and Scott Joplin. In 2000, Goodacre's rendering of Sacagawea, the interpreter for Lewis and Clark, appeared on the face of a new dollar coin issued by the U.S. Mint. For more than a decade, Goodacre has been a participant in the Art in Embassies program, exhibiting work worldwide.

An academician of the National Academy of Design since 1994 and a fellow of the National Sculpture Society since 1981, she has won many awards at their exhibitions in New York. Much earlier in her career, she studied in New York at the Art Students League. More recently, she received honorary doctorates from Colorado College, her alma mater, and Texas Tech University in her hometown of Lubbock.

As part of an initiative in the Philadelphia school district, as well as in other school districts throughout the country, the Irish potato famine has been recently added to the history curriculum. Philadelphia's "IRISH MEMORIAL" gives a stirring visual presentation, coupled with substantial historical data, to complement the school curriculum. The memorial is truly an educational experience.
