The Ohio Artist Registry (OAR) is an exciting opportunity for artists to share their work, connect with the creative community, and establish an online presence—all on a free, virtual platform! The OAR encourages artists working in all art forms, throughout Ohio and beyond, to create a profile, which allows them to better promote themselves and their work. Being listed in the OAR provides artists with new opportunities to share their work with clients, galleries, patrons, and audiences. A listing in the OAR does not confer an endorsement, approval, or verification by the Ohio Arts Council.
For more information, contact Kathy Signorino, artist programs director, at kathy.signorino@oac.ohio.gov or 614-728-6140.

Kari Gunter-Seymour’s award winning photography has been published nationally in The Sun Magazine, Light Journal, Looking at Appalachia, Storm Cellar Quarterly, Anthology of Appalachian Writers, Vine Leaves Journal and Appalachian Review. She is a 9th generation Appalachian.

I’m an artist and designer living in a treehouse in Appalachia. Throughout my career, there has been an easy flow of ideas and techniques between my architectural and exhibit design work and my more personal art making. I now make what I call Demon Heads out of paper, first modeling the heads in the computer, then flattening the shapes into patterns which I cut out of paper and assemble edge-to-edge.
Christof Maupin
Artist
My name is Christof Maupin, and I am a hot glass artist, working in a technique called lampworking. Unlike glassblowing, lampworking involves using a torch to form beads on a steel mandrel or small sculptural objects using a glass rod. Much of my glass becomes jewelry, as well as small functional or decorative objects.
