Sachi Rome is an Atlanta-based multidisciplinary Artist and educator who focuses on vibrant and richly textured abstractions. Her primary mediums are acrylic and handmade paints, diamond dust, and Georgia red clay. She activates the alchemy of these materials to create safe sacred spaces, conversations with the spiritual realm, and generational hereditary memory.
Through layered abstractions, Sachi’s most recent body of work Liminal Space engages the “in-between” as a site of possibility. Her use of clay—grounded in the Southern landscape—creates a visual metaphor for the layered histories of the South, where generational trauma and resilience coexist. By merging color, texture, and found materials, Rome constructs a conversation between the spiritual realm and hereditary memory, inviting viewers to meditate on the thresholds between the tangible and intangible, the historical and the imagined. In that act of meditation there is an open invitation to pause and rest.
