Hunter George

Hunter  George has always hungered to capture the natural, as well as, historical renditions in watercolor. He would like to help preserve a cultural history that is quickly fading from our midst. His love of old buildings and landscapes dominate his portfolio, called “Reflections of the Past.” He is a signature member of the Watercolor Art Society – Houston, with his work being featured in three international exhibitions. His award winning works have been represented throughout the state of Texas by galleries in Houston, Galveston, Rockport, San Antonio, Kerrville, Salado, Crawford, Bellville, and Wimberly. His works are showcased in Texas Highways Magazine and The Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center  in Austin.

Hunter George has been honored with numerous graphic design awards from the Art Director’ Clubs of New York, Los Angeles, Denver, Tulsa, and Houston; Communication Arts magazine; Print Magazine; Ad Week Magazine; The Printing Industries of America, and the Dallas/Fort Worth Society of Communication Arts.

He is a past president of the Art Directors’ Club of Houston, and has served on the Texas State Board of American Institute of Graphic Artists.

A Virginia transplant to the state of Texas, Hunter George studied art, design and photography at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, VA where he earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree.  His website is www.watercolorsbyhunter.com
