Waiting, Original Painting

Artist Comments
Using her signature folk art style, artist Jessica JH Roller captures a tranquil scene of a woman sitting on the shore, looking out longingly at the sea. A quaint house sits at the top of the cliff. Jessica shares this poem as inspiration for the piece:Waiting in the comfort of her own space,She wondered what it was she missed,It was exhilaration that eventually narrowed to insecurity,A longing for a time that was not better.

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.
