Jessica JH Roller
Oakwood, Ohio
Artist Jessica JH Roller paints whimsical and playful compositions of animals and people, marked by bold colors and primitivist linework. She distills a scene into a few simple shapes, using color to create contrast and vibrancy, often choosing palettes that reflect pop culture. "My adopted kittens, Tony and Larry, opened my eyes and unleashed the artist inside me," shares Jessica. "After, I started to notice birds, trees, color, everything." Jessica brings to life her dynamic creations in the comfort of her studio in her century-old home. She enjoys listening to music and audiobooks while painting with her 18-year-old acrylic-covered easel. When not painting, Jessica cherishes time with her family and five cats, teaches yoga, and enjoys cycling along the river.

My compositions are carefully considered, with a sense of order and balance. However, I am not afraid to challenge conventional notions of depth and perspective. My work is a testament to my keen observation and artistic skill. I have a unique ability to distill the essence of a scene into a few simple lines and shapes.
My art is both personal and universal, inviting viewers to connect with their own experiences and emotions
