He received his formal training at the University of Kansas, from 1925 to 1929, as a design student. Frazier created several iconic pieces of art in the State of Kansas. He was commissioned to sculpt the Docking Building in Topeka with "cut-stone wall panels" and the ornamental bronze doors at the Campanile WWII memorial at KU. Before his death in 1976 at the age of sixty-nine, he was designing the allegorical statue titled "Justice", which stands in the foyer of the Kansas Judicial Center in Topeka, Kansas.
