Lyn Ott

Lyn Ott graduated from the Rhode Island School of Design in 1947.  After art school, he established a studio in New York City and his works were exhibited in several one-man shows at the Lavisco Gallery to positive reviews.  Lyn settled in Woodstock, N.Y. and joined the Art Students League of New York.  There he began a long-term partnership with fellow painter and spiritual seeker Phyllis Silverman.  In 1965, they met Meher Baba in India and a year later the Ott family moved to the Meher Spiritual Center in Myrtle Beach, S.C.  While living at the Center, Lyn produced approximately 500 paintings of Meher Baba and today his paintings adorn Baba centers and homes around the world.  The murals that Lyn and Phyllis created in 1975, can be seen on permanent exhibition in the Meher Baba Pilgrim Center near Ahmednagar, India.  Lyn also wrote two books: "In Quest of the Face of God" and "Journey Out of Darkness" which remains unpublished.  PHOTOGRAPH
