Roland was born to Luther and Gertrude Uburtja and lived in Ntaria (Hermannsburg). His sister, Cynthia, was married to watercolor artist Wenten Runbuntja, and he was also related to Clem Abbott.
This landscape by Roland reflects the colour and formation of the many ranges, hills, gorges and flora that are found in his country, Ntaria (Hermannsburg), West of Alice Springs in Central Australia. This country truly has the blue and purple colours of the ranges in the distance, the rich colour in the sand and an amazing contrast when the plentiful flora is in bloom.
