About the Artist: Born into a seafaring family in Hull, Roland

Art.
At the outbreak of the Second
World War he
joined the Army and was taken
prisoner in
the retreat to Dunkirk. It was
after moving
to Shropshire in 1953 that he
began to concentrate
on watercolours, exhibiting at
the Royal
Academy, RI, RSW, and the Scottish
Academy.
He opened his own Gallery in
Ludlow in 1974
and began to write and teach

and France. Travelling widely,
many of his
works are of French villages
or Italian harbours
or boats.
