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

My art is all about encouraging happiness through the indulgence of some of my favored aesthetics. I find comfort in expressing myself through my art. Nature, Magic, Space, and Color are all key features in my current work. I am very inspired by craft movements and art styles popularized by early Children’s Book Illustrators. Through a combined technique of traditional and digital media, I bring my work to life. I am drawn to the use of watercolor with a mixed media approach, involving colored pencils, charcoal, papers, inks, and more to create my soft style. Through my narrative Illustration projects, I hope to create magical scenes with a sense of gentleness and calm.
