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
Mary Beth Stauffer received an MFA in painting and drawing from the University of Pennsylvania (1995). She began her teaching career at the University of Pennsylvania as Lecturer, co-teaching drawing classes for architecture students. Recent teaching experience includes teaching at the University of Akron, the University of Mount Union, and Ashland University, with over 20 years as a Life Drawing instructor at the University of Akron (as Senior Lecturer). Her current work in painting focuses on sustainability as she explores connections between humans and nature. Her process begins with personal photographs of gardens, which are then manipulated to compose underlying sketches for the paintings. In the past, she exhibited paintings in Eastern Pennsylvania and New York City. Currently, Stauffer is showing work in Ohio and fulfilling commissions to do portraiture for local clients in the Akron area.
