About Me

Picture
Jillian Roper is a Maryland-based artist with over two decades of professional experience across various media. Her work delves into the profound and enduring relationship between animals and humans, exploring this connection through a range of visual approaches. At times, she uses whimsical narratives where animals embody human emotions and behaviors, offering playful yet poignant reflections on shared experiences. In contrast, Roper also takes a more serious, scientific lens, addressing urgent ecological concerns and the impact of human activity on wildlife and natural habitats.
Employing traditional printmaking techniques such as reduction and intaglio, alongside painting, drawing, sculpture, and mixed media, Roper creates bold, tactile works that capture the intricate details of each animal subject. Her careful selection of materials and intentional shaping of line language imbue each piece with a distinctive emotional depth, inviting viewers to reconsider their relationship with the natural world. Through her work, Roper seeks to foster empathy and raise awareness, encouraging reflection on our interconnectedness with the environment and its creatures.
Roper's work has been exhibited in galleries and small businesses across the region, and she continues to develop new pieces that challenge and inspire.
