| Robert Lyn Nelson was born in 1955, in southern California. He was a child prodigy who produced drawings of remarkable quality at age three. He attended both Chaffey and Mount San Antonio Colleges while still in high school. At fifteen, the First public exhibition of his work was virtually sold out. His first one-man show followed two years later. In 1977, he moved to the island of Maui, the winter home of the humpback whales and began his new bold art. "I wanted to paint the precise sensation of being in two universes at once. I could see it when I went diving, and I wanted to share it with the world. At the time there was nothing like it - nothing." |
