Penelope Jencks is a world-renowned sculptor, known over the years for her monumental granite and bronze sculptures of such important individuals as Eleanor Roosevelt, Robert Frost, and Aaron Copeland. Her studio-sized bronze sculptures are primarily nude figures in the landscape -- at the beach or on the dunes -- usually in a state of undressing or dressing. Jencks continues to draw inspiration from the places and figures of her childhood: “We spent the summers in Wellfleet. The shapes of the land, with its curves and dips, were like the forms of a large human body. It was as though we lived on a big shapely body that we could walk on, dig in, and pick flowers from."
