Born in Perth, Western Australia, Rolf has always
loved art; Even before he went to Primary School, whenever anyone
asked him "What are you going to be when you grow up?" his
immediate response was "An artist!". In the mid 1950's, for two
years running, some of Rolf's paintings were featured in the
Summer Exhibition at the Royal Academy. While painting continued
to be a private passion of his, it was for his television and
stage performances that Rolf became a household name. In recent
years Rolf has devoted more time to painting and has had a number
of one-man shows, including the Rolf on Art exhibition at the
National Gallery. Rolf has been awarded the OBE, is a
member of the Order of Australia and has won many awards for his
work in the entertainment industry. Recently he was made an
honorary member of the Royal Society of British Artist. |
