2003: Lengyel Monument
Main Street, Georgetown CA
Life Size Bronze

The two figures are Georgetown legends!
Theresa Lengyel saved the water supply of Georgetown and was written up in the Wall Street Journal.
She also saved several historic buildings in town.  Cornel, her husband was a world-reknown poet and
playwright.  In 2001 Sally Shapiro was given the commission to create the monument.  It was unveiled
in 2003.  Theresa passed in 1997; Cornel in 2003 – the year of the unveiling.

1994: From Warmth to Opennness
Sacramento City College
Berneice Clayton Child Development Center
Life Size Bronze

Berneice Clayton had worked her whole life creating the Child Development Center at
Sacramento City College.  Upon retirement, she asked Sally Shapiro and Helen Post to
compete for a life-sized monument at the site.  Sally’s plan of having Berneice and her
granddaughters be part of the sculpture won her the commission.  The piece was
unveiled in 1994 by Sally’s then 4-year-old son David.

1988: Agelessness
California State University Sacramento
Child Care Center
Life Size Bronze

The alumni and Development Department put forth a campus-wide competition
funded by Lucille Cohen in  memory of her husband Arthur who loved children.
The monument was to represent her late husband and their Goddaughter who
was from Ghana.  Sally Shapiro was a student of Steve Kaltenbach, one of the most respected
sculpture professors in California at the time.  Although Sally was not the initial winner, she
made a strong advocacy for her ability to complete the project and when she addressed
the Alumni Association, against her nature, she was able to convince the group to reconsider
her bid.  The winner was unable to deliver a final sculpture — Sally was.
