In 1893, she helped Lorado Taft with the Chicago Worlds Columbian Exposition for which she created a statue of Daniel Boone and the caryatids for the Woman's Building. She won a Designers Medal at the Exposition. In later years, Yandell lived and taught sculpture in Edgartown, Massachusetts, on Martha's Vineyard, and in 1908, she founded the Branstock School there. Her summer school taught modeling, drawing, wood carving, illustration, and painting in oil and watercolor, and she convinced a number of well-known painters to teach there, including Albert Sterner in 1909 and John Christen Johansen the following year. Enid Yandell executed various memorials, including the Emma Willard Memorial in Albany, the Hogan Fountain in Louisville, the Mayer Lewis Monument in New Haven, and other fountains and busts. She was one of the first woman members of the National Sculpture Society, and her sculpture "The Five Seasons" was in the 1913 Armory Show in New York City.
