Jessica JH Roller
Two Barn Owls, Original Painting

2022

About the Item

Artist Comments
Artist Jessica JH Roller depicts two mysterious barn owls against a striking red backdrop. The wide-eyed birds live peacefully at an owl refuge deep in the forest. With the bold lines and contrasting white, the solid red background spotlights their vibrant and stark appeal.


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.

  • Turquoise Runners, Original Painting
    Located in San Francisco, CA

    Artist Comments
    Artist Nick Bontorno exhibits wild horses running in the desert. The pair sprawl through the canyons with reckless abandon. The pink and turquoise hues create a vibrant and energetic display. Nick's painterly approach further creates an atmosphere of fanciful whimsy.


    About the Artist
    Interested in how things feel rather than how they look, artist Nick Bontorno creates poetic gestural work expressing his love for animals, people, and the desert. He spent ten years working on a horse ranch in Wyoming, teaching him to love the grace of horses and the beauty of the land and seasons. Growing up with limited means, Nick found ways to express his creativity through painting pictures on cardboard and drawing on fogged windows. He persisted and studied representational art and portraiture at The Lyme Academy in Connecticut but ultimately became a self-driven artist with a distinctive approach. "My work has evolved to be more ethereal, and I'm increasingly interested in the essence of what I'm painting," shares Nick. His ideas come to life in a small studio in Provo in an old Studebaker repair shop from the 1950s. Nick's art has been featured and acclaimed in Jackson, Wyoming. In his free time, he grooves on playing the guitar, singing with his wife, playing pool, and fixing old cars.
