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
I’m a self-taught, Appalachian artist. As of last year, I’ve been focused on portraits primarily in gouache. I love to paint faces that remind me of my childhood in West Virginia, and look like they have a story to tell. I love painting candid photos of people laughing, talking, or even eating. My goal is for you to look at one of my portraits and feel like you know the person as a friend.
