After receiving an undergraduate degree from College of Art, University of Science and Technology in Kumasi Ghana, I joined Johnson Aterlier in 1989. At Johnson Atelier I took off for two years from 1993 to 1995 to earn a Masters of Arts degree in sculpture from Rutgers University, Mason Gross School of the Arts in New Brunswick, New Jersey.

Bright Bimpong's work is in many collection in US, Europe and Africa and the Carribean. Some of the major collections include
public art commissions in Atlanta, commissioned by the 1996 Olympic Face-lift Committee, titled Ralph David Abernathy a symbolic sculpture of chair and lectern in memory of the civil right activist and Martin Luther King's collegue in the civil right movement.
State of Connecticut Forensic Laboratory commissioned a bronze, titled Witness an aluminum figure for its Meriden location.
Installed in the University of Alaska Anchorage is Transaction II, a two-figure bronze piece measuring 108 feet high.
The US Virgin Islands government commissioned me to create Freedom, a larger than life size figure blowing conch with a machette mounted on marble base. Copies of this figure are intalled on all three islands. Also installed in St Croix, in addition to Freedom are two portraits of Buddhoe and Hamilton Jackson.
