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.

Artist Statement
In my art work, currently using primarily drawing, printmaking, painting and fabric media, alone or in combination, I strive to make holistic visual statements that reverberate and amplify the emotions associated with the events, people, nature or spirituality that I experience. I seek to make a rememberable and meaningful emotional connection with you, the viewer, through my art.
