Long Island Artist, George Wybenga Exhibition at Briarcliffe College, Bethpage Campus

Long Island Artist, George Wybenga of Center Moriches, Long Island has a beautiful collection of work on exhibition at Briarcliffe College, Bethpage Campus.

Well known for his award winning Serigraphs, George Wybenga has created a series of watercolor paintings of cabooses in order to create a visual record of this image of American transportation history. Since fall of 2001 he has completed 250 images and continues to build the collection with the help of aficionados who supply him with reference material and from photos and sketches obtained from cross country trips. From these paintings he creates affordable limited edition prints for other caboose lovers to enjoy.

George earned a BFA degree from Pratt Institute, an MA from Hunter College as well as from the State University of New York at Stony Brook.  He worked as a graphic designer in New York City, taught at Suffolk Community College, Long Island University, Parsons School of Design, and retired as professor from the Fashion Institute of Technology.
