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.

Artist Statement
I began working on large public works (murals and mosaics) due to my involvement with K 12 Gallery. My murals have developed into a detailed, dimensional, flat color style due to my work with the juvenile courts. A love of nature or appreciation for Dayton, OH are my most common themes. I intend to continue to focus on public works and mosaics.
