==Biography==
Roe was in born 1974 in Portsmouth, Ohio, USA. He spent his childhood across the Ohio River in Greenup County, Kentucky, but moved to Portsmouth while in his teens.〔 In 1992 he received a scholarship to the Columbus College of Art and Design in Columbus, Ohio and attended his freshman year there in 1992 to 1993.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Alumni Re-Engaged )〕 In the summer of 1993 he met the Louisiana mural artist Robert Dafford when he started a mural project in Portsmouth. He subsequently apprenticed to and worked for Dafford for 15 years. During that time Roe worked on Dafford mural projects in Portsmouth, Ohio,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Welcome to robertdaffordmurals.com Works in Progress )〕 Paducah,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=KentuckyLiving.com Archives-Floodwall Murals Color Our Cities )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Small Town's Story Transforms Drab Walls Into Art )〕 Maysville,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Rosemary Clooney Mural – Maysville, KY )〕 and Covington, Kentucky,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Murals making the past present )〕 New Orleans, Louisiana, Vicksburg, Mississippi and Pine Bluff, Arkansas.
A number of subjects painted by Roe as a Dafford muralist include Native American history, early settlers such as Daniel Boone and Simon Kenton,〔 Carnegie Libraries, industries such as river barges〔 and hospitals, labor unions,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Western Kentucky Worker-Labor floodwall mural dedicated in ceremony )〕 African-American heritage,〔 and local notables such as Rosemary Clooney.〔 In May 2003 he was photographed painting the Lewis and Clark Expedition mural in Paducah by photographer Jim Roshan as part of the America 24/7 project. The image was used in Roshan's book ''Kentucky24/7'' published in 2004. He was the only Dafford muralist to work on all of the Paducah murals, completing several of them entirely by himself.〔
In 2007 he left Dafford Murals to pursue his own commissions and devote more time to his own artwork under the name (ChromeSun Productions ). In 2009 he collaborated with Dafford on a poster project for the Zydeco Cajun Prairie Scenic Byway, in which he did the preliminary digital painting for the design. The year-long project highlights many local spots of interest. In 2010, Roe painted two new murals in Paducah and Vicksburg. In July, he painted ''Evening Roll Call'' in Paducah, a mural depicting the 100-year history of local Boy Scouts of America Troop 1. The mural was dedicated on National Scouting Sunday February 6, 2011 with a parade and other festivities. In the fall of 2010, Roe teamed up with another former Dafford muralist, Benny Graeff, to paint the 55-foot "Run Thru History" mural in Vicksburg, Mississippi. Roe's current artwork focuses on the traditional southwestern Louisiana Cajun celebration of the Courir de Mardi Gras. It is a series of hyperrealistic, documentary-style depictions of costumed celebrants playing music, dancing on the backs of horses, and chasing after chickens.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】 date=2011-11-28 )〕
