Self-taught sculptress and puppeteer who, along with artist husband Les Beaton, founded The Peningo Puppeteers in Rye, New York, circa 1936. Their 1948 book, Marionettes: A Hobby for Everyone, is the standard work on the subject and remains highly regarded by amateur and professional puppeteers. This book was reprinted by Dover under the title The Complete Book of Marionettes.
