Born March 22, 1939 in Park City, Utah

Resides in South Jordan, Utah

Ed Fraughton won a national art competition in the fourth grade and that award was just enough impetus for him to pursue his artistic interests. Encouraged by his teachers and a talented mother, he completed a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree and graduate studies at the University of Utah, studying under Dr. Avard T. Fairbanks, himself a student of such noted sculptors as James Earle Fraser.

Fraughton received his first commission to do a large, heroic monument for the city of San Diego, just six years after his graduation from college. Many other commissions have followed, including a 14-foot Spirit of Wyoming on the grounds of the State Capitol Building in Cheyenne, Wyoming; a Monument to Education at Rexburg, Idaho; and the Cadet Monument, located on the campus of Randolph-Macon Academy in Front Royal, Virginia. Presently, the artist is participating in a sculpture that encompasses three city blocks in Omaha, Nebraska.
