Born in Pleasantville, NJ, Frank Wimberley has produced a significant body of work in abstraction in paint and collage. Wimberley studied art with James Porter, Loïs Mailou Jones, and James Wells at Howard University. While a student, he also played jazz and later developed friendships with musicians such as Miles Davis, Wayne Shorter, and Ron Carter in New York, who also informed his creative sensibility. He received the Pollack/Kranser fellowship in 1998. Wimberley had a solo exhibition at Spanierman Gallery, East Hampton, NY in 2008, and has had recent solo exhibitions at the Islip Art Museum, June Kelly Gallery, New York and Heckscher Museum, Huntington, NY. His works are found in the permanent collections of the Parrish Art Museum, the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture and the Yale University Art Gallery.
