Jessica JH Roller
Sleeping Cat on Orange and Yellow, Original Painting

2022

About the Item

Artist Comments
Artist Jessica JH Roller paints her pet cat, Poppleton, with a striking color palette. "I wanted to create that contrast between my cat's restful state with overly saturated colors," says Jessica. She chooses yellow and orange to represent sunlight—her current favorite combination. "I looked at my sleeping Poppleton, whited out my canvas, and then began to paint my companion whose calm slumber brought me peace at that moment."


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.
