Romy Jervis is a multidisciplinary artist based in New York and a recent graduate of Bard College, where she earned a B.A. in Studio Arts.

Working across drawing, ceramics, and sculpture, Romy explores the often-blurred boundaries between humans and animals, life and death, beauty and decay. Her work is driven by a fascination with the natural world and the physical traces living things leave behind. Through her materials and imagery, she examines themes of sexuality, evolution, mortality, and transformation.

Her recent thesis exhibition, Discarded Parts, brought these interests together through a series of large-scale charcoal drawings, ceramic bone sculptures, and works incorporating animal hides. The exhibition explored how fragments, remains, and artifacts can tell stories about the body, identity, and our connection to the natural world.

At the center of Romy’s practice is a curiosity about what links all living things. Her work invites viewers to look closely at the cycles of growth, loss, and renewal that shape both human and animal experience.
