Cid Roberts is a New York-based visual artist and photographer originally from Los Angeles. Self-taught, Roberts discovered his passion for photography at six-years old, documenting important life events with youthful intrigue. For twenty-five years, he enjoyed a successful career in Musical Theater and Dance, traveling the world and now focusing his camera on intimate behind-the-scenes details. In 2017, Roberts transitioned to photography as a career, when he documented his walks around New York City- one photo every day for a year- culminating in a book of photos, “I Walk These Streets.”. The project was prompted by a painful breakup with his longtime partner. Photography became therapuetic, encouraging Roberts to capture his external world through the lens of his introspective journey as a gay Latinx man. His work since has been published in Vanity Fair, Musee Magazine, W42ST Magazine, Artist Talk Magazine, New York City Style Guide, and in his published books Projections, and All This Change Is Making Me Wet: Photos of SoHo during public unrest amidst civil and racial injustice. He is an Art Show International award recipient and his New York City exhibitions include shows at Van Der Plas Gallery, La Ventana 533, Superfine Art Fair, Highline Open Studios, West Chelsea Artists Open Studios, and ArtExpo New York. He currently works and lives in Chelsea, Manhattan with his dog Bastian
