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.

Bio
Loura is a Commercial, Travel/Destination, & Nature Photographer for websites, social media, & publications, working with cities, parks, groups, churches, orgs, corporate, government agencies, publications, nonprofits, & small businesses.
Loura seeks to educate and bring communities together by fostering communications in all forms, from performances, art, writing, and visual communications. In addition to photography, she loves acting and voice narration, music, sings Soprano, crafts one-of-a-kind hand-beaded gemstone jewelry, and writes about social criticism topics and weird fiction inspired by her Appalachian heritage.
Loura favors “small subjects” of all kinds, and is adept at picking out details of people, places, and things. She enjoys experimenting with designs, colors, patterns, and light. Loura’s style favors a photojournalistic approach with bold, vibrant colors and realistic subjects, but she also makes room for images with a more Impressionistic flair.
Her work has been featured multiple times in Creation Illustrated Magazine, Mother Earth Magazine, PC-Goenner Talent Agency, Kirkmont Presbyterian Church, Five Rivers MetroParks Publications, Dayton Society of Art, and Dayton Focus Photo Club. Loura is a proud member of Dayton Tripod Camera Club, The Dayton Society of Art, Dayton Focus Photo Club, and Preservation Dayton, Inc.
