Roland Harvey is one of Australia’s best-loved illustrators admired for his humour and intriguing, detailed art work. In 1978, he established Roland Harvey Studios and designed a wonderful range of greeting cards, posters and stationery with a distinctively Australian flavour.  Successful ventures in to children’s books soon followed as did demand for him to visit schools and share his love of books and illustration with children everywhere. Roland was the recipient of the 2005 Dromkeen Medal in recognition of his achievements. 

Roland can run general sessions focussing on watercolour painting, caricature, illustrating generally, publishing and life as an author.

He can also run more detailed sessions if genuinely interested focussing on drawing techniques (e.g. composition, perspective, cross-sections).

Roland Harvey was FANTASTIC! My favourite Author Visit so far!!
Many thanks for organising this - the students and staff really enjoyed it.
