Roy was born in 1953 in Surrey, England. After leaving school at sixteen to train as a technical illustrator, he then took a degree in graphic design. Having set up his own studio, he supported himself producing record sleves, advertisements and books, while also producing decorative serigraphs and lithographs.
He achieved considerable popularity with his suites of pastel coloured figurative prints, developing new methods to obtain qualities of light and colour, that are now in general use.
He is particularly influenced by the painters of the Renaissance and he visits Italy in particular to study frescos, tapestries and paintings and to see for himself the techniques with which they were executed.
His vision is coloured by his immersion in the past - his surfaces are rich and sumptuous and he uses varied interwoven elements such as fabrics and flowers in his works. The crumbling plasterwork of ancient frescos are also alluded to in his use of plaster as a base for acrylic and oil
