Squirrel with Cookie, Original Painting

2025

Artist Comments
A squirrel munches on a cookie, its tiny claw clutching the treat with delight. Artist Jessica JH Roller drew inspiration from the resourceful furry visitors in her neighborhood who have a knack for turning discarded leftovers into their next great feast. The artwork captures a familiar, yet often-overlooked, scene of urban wildlife.

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.
