Roland Henrion
Recently Belgian Roland Henrion started focusing more on his art, and that made him a candidate for our fishy artists series.
I have had contact with Belgian fly fisher and artist Roland Henrion since 2004, and he has always been quite an entrepreneur, developing and marketing products for fly fishers, guiding, even writing for this site.
Recently he has started to focus more on his art, and that made a perfect excuse to feature him as a fishy artist here on the Global FlyFisher.
a) How did you start working with art and with fishing related art in particular?
I am a graphic designer/illustrator/photographer by profession. I started moving away from computer work last year to concentrate on painting.

b) Why fish and fishing?
I am a passionate fly fisherman and I love all types of water: river, lakes, oceans. The ever changing light conditions make that I never tire of the endless color combinations and atmospheres.
c) What is your preferred method of painting/drawing/producing your art – if any?
I mostly use acrylics on stretched linen canvas (formats 100×70, 50×70 mostly), but also work with watercolors, pen & ink, pencils...
d) Is the art your main source of income – if at all a source of income - and do you do other jobs as a supplement?
Yes I paint for a living, more and more now as I tend to do less design work.
e) Can people buy your art and if so, then in which form and where?
People can buy my work and commission paintings from photos they send.
Paintings can also be purchased as prints.
All info is on my blog: roland5100.wordpress.com/
Paintings can also be purchased here: saatchiart.com/roland_henrion
f) Where do you currently live and work?
I live and work in Namur, Belgium
g) Whatever you find interesting or relevant as a supplement - just in case I left out something important.
I lived in Seychelles where I was the first officially registered fly fishing guide.

Since you got this far …
… I have a small favor to ask.
Long story short
Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.
Long story longer
The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
