Roy was born in London in 1935.
He trained at the London School of Printing and Graphic Art where he
studied life drawing, photographic re-touching and graphic design. His early career was as a commercial artist
and later, whilst serving with the R.A.F., he designed a number of service
badges for 90 Group Signals Section working in co-operation with the Royal
College of Heralds. After National Service he resumed a career in advertising,
working on major accounts. He started
his own design studio with a partner and finally left the advertising world to
concentrate on fine art. His studied included Old Master painting techniques
under the guidance of Ingmar Seidl, an Austrian artist specialising in 17th
Century Dutch painting techniques. Roy paints most types of subjects,
landscape, portraits, but especially still life and flowers.
