Frances Goodwin's first commission was for Education, a sculpture displayed in the Indiana building at the World's Columbian Exposition in 1893[2] for which she earned an honorable mention.[4] The statue later found its way into the Office of the Governor of Indiana.[3] Goodwin's other works include a marble statue of Schuyler Colfax in the senate gallery at the U.S. Capitol and a bronze memorial of Captain Everet Benjamin in New York.[2] Her busts of Newcastle poet Benjamin S. Parker and Indianapolis rector Reverend James D. Stanley were on display both at the Historical Society of Henry County and at Herron School of Art in Indianapolis. She also sculpted many studies of baby hands, which were popular with the public.[3] After living in Paris for a few years, she returned to the U.S. to compete for the commission of the Robert Dale Owen Memorial[2] and opened a temporary studio in Indianapolis to create the clay mold of the future artwork.[4] She returned to Paris to cast the final bronze bust.[4]
