Gary Lynn Roberts, originally from Texas, has established his home in the Bitterroot Valley of Western Montana alongside his wife Nancy and their daughters, Mary and Anna. A lifelong painter and admirer of Western aesthetics, he is a third-generation artist who has dedicated himself to the tradition of oil painting. Beginning his artistic journey at the age of 14, Gary Lynn was immersed in an environment rich in artistic influence, primarily shaped by his father, the esteemed Western artist Joe Rader Roberts. In addition to his father's guidance, he has benefited from personalized instruction from some of America's most distinguished artists, including G. Harvey and A.D. Greer. This diverse training has allowed Gary Lynn to develop a unique style that blends elements of Realism and Impressionism. 

His artwork reflects a bygone era characterized by cattle drives, Indian encampments, and cowboys on horseback, a time with which he feels a profound spiritual connection. Gary Lynn’s deep understanding of his subjects stems from his early experiences in horse training and rodeo participation, which have significantly enhanced his ability to portray horses and Western wildlife in ways that authentically capture their personalities. He possesses an innate understanding of equine behavior in various contexts. 

Gary Lynn's artwork has been featured on the covers of national magazines and is displayed in numerous museums and art collections throughout the United States. He has received multiple "Gold" and "Best of Show" accolades at the Texas Ranger Museum & Hall of Fame and is a well-regarded participant at the C.M. Russell Show in Montana. His work has also been highlighted in publications such as Art of the West, Cowboys and Indians, and Southwest Art magazine.
