Laura Gardin Fraser

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Laura Gardin Fraser (1889 - 1966) was an American sculptor and the wife of sculptor James Earle Fraser.

Laura Gardin studied under Fraser at the Art Students League from 1910 to 1912. She was the winner of the 1931 competition to design a new quarter with George Washington on the obverse. Her winning design was ignored by the then-Treasury Secretary, Andrew Mellon, who selected a design by John Flanagan. Fraser's design was coined as a commemorative five-dollar gold piece in 1999.
