Digital illustrator Jordan Bruner’s "The Grand Wander" explores many of the sights one might encounter while traveling from Grand Central to Long Island, including the cityscape of midtown Manhattan, wildlife and beaches, the historic fishing industry, and local wineries and food culture. These colorful scenes celebrate the broad range of experiences offered throughout Long Island.

The work is presented by MTA Arts & Design with technical support from ANC Sports.
