Canoe Adventure, Original Painting

2020

Artist Comments
A fantastical adventure paddling through lush vegetation and surrounded by marine life. Artist Jessica JH Roller says the piece depicts a mother, son and their two cats happily maneuvering their canoe through the narrows of the Little Miami and concluding in the dark, deep waters of the Amazon.

About the Artist
A few months after Jessica JH Roller and her husband were married, they adopted two young Siamese cats from a shelter -- Tony and Larry. Jessica quickly fell deeply in love with the kittens and says the cats changed her. "They opened my eyes - I started to notice birds, trees, water, color, everything. It was as if the artist inside had been unleashed.” Jessica uses bold colors and primitive linework to create whimsical, expressive portraits. She intends to capture real or imagined moments that are both common and extraordinary.
