Testimonials

I love every detail and the expression of the face is masterful...the eyelashes seem so real! Love those butt wrinkles and the twitch of his lip ever so slight and so many other countless details that are standard for your work… I am amazed, like usual, with your sculpting skill. I look forward to the next release!

Cinda Rich, U.S.

I just am amazed at how much attention to detail you put into these sculptures. They are both just so beautiful. Love Whimsy's little tongue and her whirly swirly winter coat. Cat is just magnificent, no more can be said.

Susan Baille, U.S.

I hope you know how much joy your sculptures bring. No matter how the week goes, the day when your sculptures arrive is always a day that ends on a high note. There are few things as wonderful as opening your packages, finding one of your kind handwritten cards and unwrapping the miracles hidden inside.

On the side…

Here’s a little side project I’ve been working on (and off 😂) — my original design version of Slaepnir, the magical eight-legged horse of Odin. Read more

About Lynn Fraley, AAEA

Sculptor Lynn Fraley is fascinated by horses. It’s been a life-long passion.

Her equine sculptures exude vivid personalities, freeze-framing a split second of motion and emotion.

Lynn’s method is straightforward and has been refined by more than 30 years of professional sculpting experience.  At the core is a deep respect for anatomy and biomechanics.  An idea is brought into form first with bare wire (essentially a schematic skeleton).  Then, non-hardening clay becomes the mass and muscle of the horse.  While working, Lynn spirals through her “Five R’s:  Rough In, Round Out, Refine, Reality Check, and Repeat.”

A Signature Member of the American Academy of Equine Art and an Associate member of the Society of Animal Artists, her work has garnered top honors at the annual American Academy of Equine Art Fall Juried Exhibit; the 2018 Founder’s Award, the 2017 Sam Savitt Award for best depiction of equine movement, the 2016 Marilyn Newmark Memorial Award for sculpture and the 2011 Leonard J Meiselman medal for sculpture.  In 2021, her work was included in the prestigious National Sculpture Society’s 88th Annual Awards Exhibition at Brookgreen Gardens, SC
