评论： Cresson scholarships allowed Bishop to study in Europe, and by 1908 she had established her own studio in Paris. When she graduated from PAFA in 1911 she was regarded as one of the most promising of America's younger sculptors. Bishop shared a studio in Philadelphia with Beatrice Fenton and received commissions which placed her friezes, sculptures and bas-reliefs in many public buildings. She died at age 28 from an undiagnosed illness.
