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
ive always had a deep love for creating art for people to see and enjoy. ive loved making paintings and drawings since a young age and once I truly noticed my passion for art I never stopped creating! I work a lot with satin acrylic paints on canvas when it comes to painting and I foucus on mostly cartoon , graffiti, and colorful work with my paintings. With my drawings I make a lot of portrait sketches of music artists with pops of color in the background of the sketch. I love creating portraits of music artist that are local to Cleveland, or that are some very well know musicians
