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
Reflective light is mesmerizing. It highlights the beauty that is often missed by the casual eye. It’s like the jewelry for the overlooked everyday surroundings of our lives. My passion is to try to capture these fleeting moments of dazzling light and color.
