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.

As a Kennedy Center trained artist, Marsha conducts workshops in arts integration for teachers.

Artist Statement
I love color. I love texture. And I especially love to draw with paper. I like to cut it, tear it, mold it into other shapes, push it around the canvas,and build it into images, I am an artist/maker and I make things with paper.
Working in papier colle suits me. Encompassing painting, drawing, sculpture and assemblage, papier colle allows me to explore new combinations of materials to create a unified whole.
I also make art to honor human history, to encourage reflection, and to engage the viewer in conversation. As a working artist I am inspired and taught by the art of those who came before me and feel privileged to be part of that heritage.
