Roland Hemmert
               Artist

Roland Hemmert is a landscape artist working in pastels and oils.​

 

His artworks are inspired by a vast array of Australian themes from the bush and escarpments of The Blue Mountains, the country west of the Great Divide and the semi-arid deserts of Central and Outback Australia.

​

"For me there is a numinous quality embodied within the land and my task is to depict not only what I see but what I perceive."​

 

Roland's pastels have been included in the art book

Luminous Colour: Showcasing Australian Pastel Artists.

(by Linda Hibbs, Indah Creations and Publications)​​.

 

The Sandstone Country of The Gundungurra and Dharug Nations of The Blue Mountains is the place he calls home.​​​​
