mosie romney

Mosie Romney is a Jamaican-American painter whose work blends figuration, abstraction, and surreal narrative. Based in Ridgewood, Queens, and the Hudson Valley, Romney draws from family archives, film stills, and memory to explore identity, time, and transformation. Their layered canvases—often mixing oil, sand, and pastel—depict dreamlike scenes where figures and symbols dissolve into portals of emotion and history. With a background in set design and puppetry, Romney constructs immersive, psychologically charged worlds that challenge visibility and invite reflection on personal and collective memory. Their work has exhibited widely, including at P·P·O·W Gallery and the Studio Museum in Harlem.
