American Contemporary

Rollin’s trademark images are recognizable both for style and content. Images often kind-heartedly lampoon the rich while harkening back to the era of F. Scott Fitzgerald, Nick and Nora and the early New Yorker years of Peter Arno.

Rollin’s style is agile, playful, formal and wry. The work is largely conceptual and at the same time lends an air of whimsy and grace to some of the most prosaic of subjects.

While Rollin’s work has been shown in galleries in Paris, New York, Barcelona, Key West, and for several years in West Palm Beach, the bulk of her production is aimed at national newspapers, magazines and book publishers. Rollin has had weekly illustrations for years in the New York Times and the Washington Post, and has had frequent contributions to Vanity Fair, Newsweek, Forbes, U.S. News & World Report, Glamour, Esquire, GQ, Vogue and Nickelodeon among many others. She has also received several distinguished awards in publishing.

Rollin was born in Bronxville, New York. She went to art school at The Eastbourne College of Art, England, and graduated from Parsons School of Design, New York. She currently hails from Florida where she resides with her two children.
