Jessica JH Roller
Cats and Bats, Original Painting

2023

About the Item

Artist Comments
Artist Jessica JH Roller crafts a visual tale of a playful interaction between creatures of the night. "Long before the break of day, a bat enters a home, awakening its inhabitants," says Jessica. The vigilant house cats corner the elusive nocturnal intruder, and the homeowners swiftly capture it. Soon, a colony builds its cozy roost in the attic. They are eventually evicted and spend weeks trying to reclaim their nest, but the felines stand guard, protecting the house.


About the Artist
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.
