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
Fourteen years ago I started writing because I was having difficulty coping with my disabilities. Putting my experiences and thoughts on paper helped me think more clearly about my situation, where I was headed and ways that I could improve my life. I later sent my writing to a local street paper that decided to publish my work. From that moment I knew that I was meant to be a writer. It gave me identity and helped keep my mind off my many troubles. Writing comforts me in my solitude and gives me strength in times of darkness. Over the years we have grown inseparable.
