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.
For more information, contact Kathy Signorino, artist programs director, at kathy.signorino@oac.ohio.gov or 614-728-6140.

Artist Statement
I am a Visual artist focusing on Pen and Ink Drawing and Watercolor Painting. In 2022 I rediscovered a passion for creation and art that had been lost to me since childhood. Despite being self-taught and a “late bloomer”, over the past three years my skills and art have continuously grown, affording me the opportunity to participate in two group exhibitions and one solo show. I also have shared and continue to share and sell my art at several art markets.
