Frink trained at Guildford and Chelsea Schools of Art during the 1950'S and enjoyed early critical success both in London and New York. She became immediately known for the powerful, predatory images she created such as her early series of dogs and birds of prey, and later, her series of monumental heads. Amongst these, The Tribute Heads and Goggle Heads, images of soldiers impenetrable behind dark glasses, are amongst her most famous works. Her later sculptures from the 1980's onwards became more gentle in subject matter and was largely based on animals, boars, dogs, horses and their riders and her series of Running Men. Her sculptures are held in numerous public collections including the Tate Gallery and the Arts Council. Most notable public commissions are her Christ figure in Liverpool Cathedral, the 'Horse and Rider' In Dover Street and the Eagle Lectern at Coventry Cathedral and the Kennedy Memorial in Dallas.
