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.

Bio

 Mark L Calloway  b 1957 — Mansfield OH USA

Best known for bold color, figurative, portraits and abstract oil painting. My prayer is to edify my audience with a positive narrative of life and emotion.

My father drew a detailed portrait of me at a very young age, that I will never forget. That’s when I started to draw. Over the years I have been involved with The Mansfield Art Center,  Mansfield City Schools Elective Academy, Richland Academy of Art and Science,  Mansfield  Richland County Library and orthers, teaching draawing and portraiture.  My love for the arts have brought many wonderful talented and gifted people into my life along with, serveral art groups  universties and societies. Continually exhibiting my art locally. as well as through out northern Ohio, My art is in both private and public collections Also being  recognized by Ohio State Senate for the B&O Bike Trail mural in Mansfield Ohio. Now being registered as an Ohio Artists with the Ohio Arts Council.

My hope is to have my works in homes of people who love it, and exhibit my art  in both Ohio state and through out America. 

 

Artist Statement

Artist Mark L Calloway

My art is truly diverse, which I once believed was a fault. But my audience has proven to me that being versatile is a great strength. Especially when it comes to illustrate life. My late Bishop W. E. Jordan Sr. made me realize that I’m not only a painter, but a story teller also. This also created a sense of responsibility to edify my audience.

Each painting even a portrait has an individual story to to tell and should be viewed as such. This keeps the art works realative and current. I enjoy listening to my audience putting  themselves into the narrative, or creatting their own.
