"Nesbitt was born in Baltimore, Maryland. He graduated from Temple University’s Tyler School of Fine Arts and also attended the Royal College of Art in London. Nesbitt is best known for large scale images of flowers that fill the canvas. In 1980, the United States Postal Service issued four stamps based on Nesbitt’s floral paintings. He also served as the official artist for the Apollo 9 and Apollo 13 space flights. "
