Roger Hjorleifson was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada in 1963. He travelled to Australia when he was 19, eventually arriving in Adelaide, South Australia, where he married, has two children, and still resides.

Roger’s original kiln-fired clay sculptures are often mounted on natural stone or wood. Generally depicting wildlife, they are meticulously hand painted with acrylics.
