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 self-taught painter who works primarily in watercolor. My artistic journey has been shaped by a deep curiosity and a desire to explore the emotional range of portraiture when I first encounter Betty Edwards’ books. My attempts often fuse elements of realism and expressionism with abstract forms, creating pieces that are both grounded and dreamlike. While my early focus was on the nuances of human faces and form, my recent work has embraced a freer, more abstract style, allowing more room for emotion and intuition to guide my brush.
