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
My art draws inspiration from the powerful, often enigmatic feelings and memories that define us as individuals. My work navigates themes such as personal relationships, body image, loneliness and desire, intimacy, and my perspectives on womanhood. I am interested in the idea that someone may always be watching, and that there is a performance to be staged and consumed. Within this internalized gaze, I set the viewer as a voyeur of the intimate moments of my lived experiences. The pieces become a kind of diary of my journey as I experience life, and function as a means for me to become bigger than my own body and experience, connecting self to the world.
