Born in 1953, Gary Lynn Roberts was raised in the small town of Channelview, just east of Houston Texas. As the son of noted Western artist Joe Rader Roberts, Gary Lynn Roberts grew up surrounded by art. “I was fortunate to grow up in that atmosphere,” he says. “In addition to my father, I received one on one training from many of his friends such as G. Harvey and A.D. Greer to mention a few. Many of my trainers were some of the nation's most notable artists.”

The desire to capture history on canvas by meticulously researching the event depicted has made Roberts one of America's most sought after historical artists.“I want to do more than create a historically correct scene; I want to tell a story. When someone views one of my paintings, I want them to feel like they are part of the painting.” 

Gary Lynn lives with his wife Nancy and four children in Hamilton, Montana. In 2013, he was selected to be a member of the C.M. Russell Museum “Russell Skull Society of Artists”.
