ABOUT

Sarah James Roman is an interdisciplinary artist based in Chicago, working primarily in painting, drawing, mixed media, fiber, and sculpture. She attended the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign before moving to Chicago to continue her BFA at the School of the Art Institute. She draws on her experience with queer identity and Asian diaspora in the suburban landscape of Americana, weaving together themes of femininity, desire, and memory into a world where beauty collides with the grotesque and the violent.
