He was born in Bedford, Indiana. Raised in Indiana, Texas, and Richland, Washington, William T.

In 1963, Wiley joined the faculty of the UC Davis art department with Bay Area Funk Movement artists Robert Arneson, and Roy DeForest. During that time Wiley instructed students including Bruce Nauman and Deborah Butterfield. According to Dan Graham, the literary, punning element of Nauman's work came from Wiley.
