Sachi Rome

'O Happy Day' - pure abstract, meditation, red clay, moody

2025

Sachi Rome lives and works in Atlanta, the city where she was born and raised. She graduated with a Bachelor of Education from Morris Brown College in Atlanta, Georgia with a concentration in painting, under the tutelage of renowned painter Louise Delsarte. Rome went on to attain a Master of Arts from Lesley University in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Rome is a multidisciplinary artist and muralist, flowing seamlessly from painting, printmaking and large scale murals. Foundational to her practice is the use of rich vibrant color and texture, leaning into abstract figurative works that push beyond both the literal and figurative representation of black bodies. Her work is reflective of critical questions surrounding identity, representation, and the creation of a metaphysical space for black bodies to safely exist in. She has been featured in Forbes, The NY Times and the Huffington Post. Her awards and recognition include The Creatives Project Residency (2020-2022), Garden Fellows Fellowship (2018), Stay-home Residency (2021), Fulton County Arts and Culture Grant Awardee (2020). Her work has been acquired by both public institutions and private collectors throughout the United States. Her exhibition record includes the Apex Museum (GA), Nowhere Art Gallery-Martha’s Vineyard (MA), University of Southern Mississippi (MS), Bo Barrett Art Center (NY), Swan Coach House (GA), Mason Fine Art (GA), Lyndon House Art Center (GA), amongst others. Her murals and public art can be seen throughout the city of Atlanta. She has spent her artistic career in the dual roles of artist and educator.
