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
Jon’s work reimagines his own personal experience growing up in suburbs on the edge of the desert. Both overcrowded, lonely and vast. Integral to the work are interactions. The interaction between fear and freedom, between people and nature. Jon’s work also explores folklore and the supernatural. Symbolic imagery such as serpents and spirit orbs pervade the language of each piece.
