Nationally recognized for her work in photo-realistic mixed media, ceramic and bronze sculpture, her sculptures have graced the covers of magazines The Chronicle of the Horse and The Hobby Horse News and are included in private collections throughout the United States, Europe and Australia.

Ms. Fraley's fascination with horses, their place in history and art have encouraged her to lead international outreach and learning projects; she is a founding member of the Realistic Equine Sculpture Society. She has taught equine sculpure at the Boise Art Museum and has conducted her Wire to Whinny workshop in locations around the country.

Her life beyond horses includes a previous career in marketing, putting to good use the Bachelor of Science in Business Administration she earned at Arizona State University. Additional coursework:
