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
Art has always been a huge part of who I am. My family is made up of woodworkers, poets, painters, writers and traditional artists in every sense. My grandfather started teaching me to draw at the age of 3. I was a natural. I would draw as often as I could. I had an undying love for the arts and for this gift I had been given. The gift of creativity. By the 3rd grade, my art had been chosen for a show in The Toledo Museum of Art. This was a HUGE and WONDERFUL experience for a little girl in gradeschool. It lit a flame inside of me that still burns bright to this day.
I hope to inspire and encourage kids to pursue their dreams.
