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.

Artist biography, Mark l. Calloway b 1957 –

My mother and I would color coloring books and work puzzles, soon I was adding shadows and mixing colors. When she would get a new pair of stockings there would be a white panel of paper that I would use for drawing.…
I graduated from Ashland University in 2007 with a BS in Fine Arts. My focus was on printmaking and sculpture. I have focused on painting for the past five years. I enjoy the process of mark-making and gather from my experience working with an outsider, non-traditional artist. I researched Pop Art, Impressionism, Dada, iconography, Egyptian, and Aztec Art
