"Opiates of Suburbia"

Artist - Tessa Rolliins

Personal Bio:
I always loved to draw but my passion kicked into full swing during high school. 
I started to experiment with portraiture, abstractions and surrealism. I competed  state fairs and the Scholastic Art Competition where I won silver and gold keys.

While at college I experimented with every medium possible from oil paints, clay, wood, photography, plaster basically anything I could get my hands on. I'm not  afraid to be playful with my art, I like to evoke feelings, address issues that effect all of us. While pointing out some social issues I also like to say its ok to laugh  at the strange world we live in.

I graduated from Iowa Wesleyan College with a B.A. in Studio Art. Now I am still experimenting and still learning.
