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.

She earned a Bachelors Degree from the University of Akron with a concentration in Commercial Art, Crafts, and Fine Art for a well rounded preparation for a successful art career.

Experience with watercolors, oils, collage, and crafts have allowed her, over the years to develop, and explore ways to create new and exciting works, and to blend them with commercial art.
