Hailing from Madison Heights, Michigan, Robert Wyland showed interest in art from an early age. At age fourteen, on a family trip to Laguna Beach, Wyland visited the ocean for the first time where he witnessed several gray whales migrating down the coast of California. In 1977, after pursuing an art degree at Detroit’s Center for Creative Studies, Wyland returned to that very beach to paint his celebrated ‘100 Whaling Walls.’ Since then the artist has received many wildlife commissions and has been featured on speciality licenses plates and stamps multiple times. In 1993 he founded the non-profit Wyland Foundation with the goal of helping children discover the ocean through art.

Hawaiin artist, Roy Gonzalez Tabora was in many ways raised as an artist. Born in 1956 to a family of painters, Tabora was introduced to art from an early age as a way of life. By the young age of 20 Tabora was a disciplined and well received realist landscape painter. Rounding out his education at the University of Hawaii, Tabora has worked as an artist since and is considered to be one of Hawaii’s leading seascape artists.

This collaboration attempts to capture the wonder and passion each artist has for the natural world around them.
