Bio

Mimi Frank was born and raised in Baltimore, Maryland.  She received her MFA from the University of Maryland in College Park, Maryland in 1979.

She has had solo exhibits in California, New York, the District of Columbia, Maryland, Virginia, and the Mid-Atlantic region. She has been included in numerous group exhibitions.
