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.

Bio
Christopher St. John received his BFA from the University of Alaska, Fairbanks and is currently an MFA Candidate in Ceramics at Ohio University. He served four years active duty in the Army. Travel has informed his practice, both in choice of material, appreciation of light and landscape, and adaptability to changing conditions. Christopher has work in the permanent collections of both the Museum of the North in Fairbanks, Alaska, and the Hawaii State Art Museum. He is always at home in a forest.
Artist Statement
Overall my work is concerned with creating objects and experiences that foster empathy and kindness with the animal other. In this respect, the animal body serves as a multivalent facilitator, and I return to it often. I consider myself a multidisciplinary artist who currently specializes in ceramics.
