About the Item

Martryce Roach is a self-taught visual artist from New Brunswick, NJ, who introduced her work in 2014. Martryce incorporates elements of music, education, geometric shapes, and environment to construct surrealistic art stories that speak to human experiences and relationships, particularly as they relate to African American culture. With a Bachelor’s Degree in Public Health and Africana Studies and a Master’s Degree in Social Work, the context for a lot of this artist’s work is shaped by her passion for helping people. In 2022, Martryce was awarded a Fellowship Grant from the New Jersey State Council on the Arts. In 2023 Martryce was an Artist-In-Residence for ArtCrawl Harlem on Governor's Island, NY. Every year, the artist participates in public art initiatives that transform public spaces into beautiful places where people passing by can learn about a wide array of social challenges. Her pastel drawing, Facing the Future Together, was licensed by Newark Liberty International Airport and a massive, mural-sized image of it was displayed digitally in Terminal A from 2022 through 2023. Martryce is currently the Public Art and Community Engagement Mural Ambassador for a 240 ft project being installed at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital this October. She will also be installing a PSEG Legends Way mural this fall in Irvington, NJ, to honor the legacy of Lebby Jones. Martryce’s work was acquired into the permanent collection of The Colored Girls Museum in Philadelphia, PA, and has been exhibited at a number of galleries and other museums around the United States of America. Her work is also sold at art fundraisers, where generous portions of those proceeds benefit efforts of providing financial assistance to marginalized communities and talented Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) underrepresented in business and medicine. Martryce Roach creates to inspire social change. She is an advocate and an artist. Martryce Roach Says of her work… I create vibrant landscapes layered with geometric shapes, architecture, and figures. It’s like visual jazz. Recently, I have become deeply inspired by how elements of our environments shape us. My latest work explores the intersection between physical space and human behavior. To me, life is filled with twists, blocks, turns and waves. How we swerve through those changes tells a powerful story and makes for a magical visual.
