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.

Artist Statement
The inspiration for my art pieces is rooted in my relationship with myself, others and the world. I often choose a Sharpie marker, paint, or gel pen on watercolor paper/canvas as a way to express myself. It is my hope that those who connect with my art might come to a deeper connection within themselves.
