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.
For more information, contact Kathy Signorino, artist programs director, at kathy.signorino@oac.ohio.gov or 614-728-6140.

Bio

About Me When people ask me what I do for a living, I tell them I am an artist. It’s what makes me get out of bed in the morning, it’s in my blood. I paint something every day that makes me happy and usually it makes others happy. From old to new, on wood or canvas, I paint, and I draw, and I will often bring out my camera. I spent many years as a commercial artist painting murals for businesses and residents both locally and nationally. I am now retired and finding a voice with my art in our community. About My Art I see art in everything and want to share what I see with others. I am drawn to what is old and has a history or story behind it. Old barns, old buildings, old cars, people I feel comfort there. I use my choice of colors to bring life to what is old. About My Journey I remember when I was 10 years old drawing illustrations from Mad Magazines and rock-n-roll posters from the 60’s my family knew then this would be my life. As my journey continues it is now allowing me to find my place as an artist
