October 2026

Jo Fleming Contemporary Art features Annapolis contemporary landscape artist Marc Roman during the month of October with The Beckoning Shore.

The exhibition brings together paintings of picturesque coastal locations and dwellings along the coast of Maine and Chincoteague Island, as well as newly completed work inspired by Tangier Island.

Working from his own photographs, Roman uses oil and acrylic on canvas and paper. His paintings explore fleeting moments in time, capturing the changing effects of light and shadow across the coastal landscape.

Roman is a Northern Virginia native and Annapolis-area artist whose career has spanned illustration, graphic design, abstract painting and fine art. After studying Graphic Design at James Madison University and working as an Art Director, he moved to New York City, eventually turning his focus to fine art. After decades of exploring abstract and text-driven work, Roman has returned to landscape painting, inspired by the photographs he has taken over the past twenty years.
