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
I want my art to give people beautiful feelings of joy, hope, love, and excitement. My unique perspective as a person allows me to portray that joy in paint. I like to use my art to show people that ordinary things like weeds or wildflowers can have a shining golden layer of beauty to them if only you look at them from the right perspective. I think of my art as an experiment in alchemy.
