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
I am a mixed-media artist who combines elements of design and illustration to make a 2D or 3D statement. My education includes Ohio University (MBA) and CCAD, where I studied Illustration. I’ve studied with some greats, including portrait artist, Danni Dawson and abstract realist, Albert Handell.
Awarded work has been included in The Ohio State Fair, Ohio Pastel Artist League and Ohio Plein Air Society shows. I am currently an Arts Educator at Wexner Center for the Arts.
Artist Statement
My goal is to utilize collage, printmaking and drawing to express feelings about subjects. The abstract can be equally important as the realistic in my work.
