These creations include everything from sculptures made out of recycled materials, drawings, prints, eight-foot canvas paintings, and in the last decade, numerous digital animation films.

As a tribute to him a documentary film, A Portrait of Roland Jarvis, exploring his life and work, was recently produced by Mark French.

The three-day open studio event provides a rare window into the world of the French-born artist and the opportunity to meet him.
