About Geoffrey Barbey Fine Art

Geoffrey Barbey has always viewed the world through a painter's eye. But after graduating from several esteemed art institutes during the 1970s, he came to a disheartening realization: traditional painting had fallen by the wayside. So, following a yearlong painting adventure throughout Europe and North Africa, Geoffrey settled into a career in advertising and commercial film production. He remained there for 25 years.

Eventually, all that time spent helping other creative people pursue their goals led Geoffrey back to the canvas. He took classes and began building a portfolio to get the word out. Today, that portfolio––filled with colorful still-life pieces––includes works that have been featured in private collections and exhibitions. Geoffrey shares his painting experience during intimate classes at his Dobbs Ferry studio. There, students create their own masterpieces while learning about fundamental topics including color theory and composition.
