About the Item
Artist Comments
Artist Johansen Newman shares a portrait of an older man wearing a teal shirt and a straw hat. "Over the years, I've spent a lot of time in Florida, which made a lasting impression on me," shares Johansen. She portrays her memories of the beach communities along the state's east coast where happy retirees would spend hours folding aluminum chairs, chatting amidst the palms and palmettos, and grabbing the occasional smoke. She loves to paint their faces, reminding her of their full lives.

A daydreaming twelve-year-old holds her velvety black cat, surrounded by a jungle of houseplants.

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.
