George has also completed numerous private commissions of senatorial and corporate board members. Amongst hundreds of private or public commissions, George Wright is proud to say not one has ever been condemned.
George Wright, a graduate of the Maryland Institute of Art, was chosen not once, not twice, but three times as Artist of the Year for the Grand National Waterfowl Hunt Club. He was also commissioned by the Babe Ruth Museum in Baltimore to complete an original rendering of the “Sultan of Swat” titled “Babe’s Babes,” which presently hangs in the Cooperstown, New York Baseball Hall of Fame. He completed an original oil painting for the Baltimore Orioles Hall of Fame Museum, titled, “A Tradition of Excellence,” which you can see presently hanging at Oriole Park at Camden Yards. He payed homage to Baltimore once again with his original oil painting of former Baltimore Oriole great Eddie Murray, honoring him for his induction to the elite 500-Career home run club.
That’s not all. Wright’s portrait of former Maryland Governor Marvin Mandel hangs in the Maryland Senate, and he was also commissioned by Tom Brown (former Green Bay packer and two-time Super Bowl champion) to complete an original oil painting of Vince Lombardi titled “The Seven Faces of Lombardi.” Wright has also completed hundreds of other private and public commissions.
