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
James is a professional engineer and artist, living and working in the Columbus area. Painting is his passion.
Artist Statement
James is an engineer and an artist. My paintings combine these two aspects of my personality: precision and expression. My style is a distinct play between positive and negative space, and the results are vivid, abstract paintings.
The engineer influences my painting through technical precision and knowledge of geometry. I strive for perfection when I put brush to canvas. I do not fear a clean, polished product. As an artist, I choose and apply my colors spontaneously. This is a free expression of the moment.
My goal, simply, is to create highly aesthetic work.
