About RGH Artists' Oil Paints

Delivering Professional-Grade Oil Paints and Pigments Since 1989

Our Story

Founded in 1989 by seasoned artist Rolf Haerem, RGH Artists' Oil Paints, Inc. emerged from a personal need for high-quality, affordable oil paints. With over 40 years of experience in creating large abstract oil paintings, Rolf identified a gap in the market for premium paints available in substantial quantities at reasonable prices. This realization led him to craft his own paints using a small three-roll mill in New York City, initially catering to his needs and those of fellow artists.
