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.

Bio
I was born in Campbellsville, Kentucky, and earned my degree in Commercial Art and Graphic Design from Western Kentucky University in Bowling Green, graduating in 1991. Since then, I’ve worked full-time as a designer, illustrator, and web designer across a range of industries including advertising, retail fashion, interactive design studios, web development, and corporate communications. Currently, I serve as a Senior Web Developer at Marathon Petroleum Corporation, a Fortune 50 company. As I move towards a retirement age, I’m gradually preparing to transition into a full-time role as an artist and illustrator, focusing on the creation of both traditional and digital artwork driven by personal inspiration and expression.

Neat’s colorful compositions are intertwined with funky, abstract and often humorous elements, reflecting the artist’s original take on art, music and culture.
