They say that the universe has a sense of humor, and that one should never say "Never". Well here I am, an artist who has, on this very site, stated that I wouldn't commit to a blog. And of course, it's funny to find myself committing to a blog, albeit simply for a year. In reality, this project arose from a pact with a dear friend, as a way to share my experiences with family & friends while I live in London for graduate school. And I have no idea what the primary focus will be.
Living in London?
Graduate school angst?
Culture shock?
Love letters to Old Masters paintings?
Odes to the Victoria & Albert Museum?

Probably all of the above and then some!
But I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to call London "home" while focusing on painting and growing my work. My MFA program starts in September, however my very first trip to the UK is this spring, to go house hunting. So I figured I might as well start now...

Well taken initiative! Our experiences are twice as rich when we penn them down. Looking forward to more. And do not forget that the first step to a journey starts from home.

"Embracing counterpoints, like moments of stillness found within chaos, I use a range of materials in my work: drawings, paintings, ceramics, printmaking, video, installation and sculpture."

Romi Sloboda was born in the United States and spent her childhood living in both the United States and her mother's native city, Seoul, Korea. She studied printmaking at the Santa Reparata Graphic Arts Centre in Florence, and received her BFA from Washington University in St. Louis and her MFA from London Metropolitan University. Her work has been exhibited in solo and group shows throughout the United States as well as in Europe. She has been awarded residencies from the Cité Internationale des Arts Fondation in Paris, the University of Texas at Dallas, and the Herekeke Arts Center in New Mexico. Romi currently lives and works in London, United Kingdom.
