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
I have always had a passion for art as far back as I can remember. I pursued art as a major in high school earning a scholarship to prestigious Columbus College of Art and Design(CCAD). I then took an adventurous turn heading out west to explore my music passion. This included traveling to Phoenix, AZ and San Diego County, CA.
I eventually returned to Columbus, Ohio to reconnect with my roots. This is when I met who would become my future wife. Together we built our family with three daughters and a son. I have since resumed my art career by showcasing my work in numerous exhibitions. This includes outdoor events and galleries. (i.e. Roy G. Biv Gallery and The Cultural Arts Center)
My art reflects a deep connection to my experiences and surroundings, blending my travels, family life and creative vision. In addition to my visual art, I am an accomplished musician playing bass guitar for various groups and performing at venues around the city. My dual passions for art and music continue to inspire my artwork.
Artist Statement
