"Migration Patterns" is a collection by J.J. Roads, a street hawker from the American Midwest who has spent years selling his paintings outside, often working through the challenges of housing insecurity. Like the birds he paints, Roads has constantly been on the move, navigating the uncertainties of Middle America while finding peace in the rhythms of nature. His works capture the essence of migration — the search for home, distant horizons, and the quiet resilience to survive in an urban jungle. Through Orangehare, JJ brings his art to a global audience, transforming once sidewalk-bound works into stories that speak of the human experience, and the quest for a home.
