"Robert Lyn Nelson (born 1955) is an American artist known for his paintings of marine wildlife, particularly those in his "Two Worlds" style, which simultaneously shows life above and below the surface of the sea. A native of San Bernardino County, California Nelson began creating murals, sculptures, landscapes, seascapes, and experimenting with still life early in his life. He attended Chaffey High School in Ontario, California and won a scholarship to attend classes at Chaffey College at age thirteen. As a teenager he began exhibiting his paintings (his first show sold out) at a series of one-man shows and group shows in Southern California. Nelson completed four years of art training at Chaffey College and Mt. San Antonio College, he was offered a full scholarship to continue his studies at the San Francisco Academy of Arts. Nelson moved to Hawaii when he was eighteen years old. According to Nelson, the turning point in his life and his career occurred when he encountered a pod of whales while surfing off Lahaina, Hawaii. This experience inspired his "Two Worlds Environmental Surrealist School of Painting," where the viewer sees simultaneously what is above and below the ocean's surface - a new school of fine art. He is best known for his marine painting and he has created more than 9,000 original works of art in a range of styles and techniques." (Source: Wikipedia)
