Current Work

Sam Roloff, a third-generation San Franciscan, discovered his artistic flair early on through expressing himself in drawings and paintings.

After graduating with honors from the San Francisco Art Institute, he explored not only the cities and countries of the world, but also the styles and techniques of painting and image making.

Through his unique perspective of being a dwarf, his art connects him to the world. Whether through pencil, paint, or digital media, his captivating approach defines a truly unparalleled body of work.

“I learned to dance,
not with my body, but with a brush.”
