Roland Harvey

About

Roland Harvey was born in Melbourne and has always loved drawing. He trained as an architect but is best-known for his distinctive books, calendars and greeting cards.

Roland enjoys watching people at work and at play, mentally sketching them while they go about their business. He has always loved the outdoors and some of the scenes from his publications At the Beach and In the Bush are from real life.

He hopes to assist kids gain a greater sense of self by encouraging them to read critically and analyse what they read.
