Jessica JH Roller
Alligator and Butterfly, Original Painting

2021

About the Item

Artist Comments
"This playful reptile rests amongst native flowers and insects," says artist Jessica JH Roller. A happy crocodile comfortably relaxes against a pastel pink backdrop. Fun symmetry spreads on both sides of the black and white butterfly with pops of vibrant blooms emerging from a red and yellow pattern.


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 simple linework to create whimsical, expressive portraits. She intends to capture real or imagined moments that are both common and extraordinary.
