Fairbanks was born in Provo, Utah, and was appointed professor of sculpture at the University of Michigan in 1930, teaching until 1948. He earned a master's and a PhD in anatomy there to portray the body more accurately.
His Pegasus stands in the gardens of Meadow Brook Hall in Rochester Hills, and Harvey Littleton was among those who took his classes.
