About the artist Michael Boyd Roman:
Originally from Atlanta, GA, Michael Boyd Roman (b. 1981) comes to Northeast Ohio to serve as an Assistant Professor of Design & Black Visual Cultures at Oberlin College & Conservatory. His mixed media and charcoal drawings seek to portray the ordinary grace of the contemporary Black experience informed by religious iconography juxtaposed against hip-hop and pop cultural references. His extensive experience as an art educator includes teaching K-12, with his work in higher education beginning as the Visual Arts Program Director at Morehouse College in 2013. Roman earned his MFA in drawing at California State University, Northridge in the spring of 2020, a MA in community arts from Maryland Institute, College of Art in 2007, and a BFA in painting from Syracuse University in 2004.
