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.

Bio
I use art as an expression of showing my love poured back out to our Father in Heaven. He delivered me many times from drug addictions and other not so good things for my soul. I celebrate 9 years clean from heroin 🙏☺️ In every season I have seen His different characteristics, and I have tried to put it on paper or canvas. From suicide, depression, to thinking sex was just a thing to do. He has showed me that marriage is sacred and so is His creation if we would just trust Him and walk with him ❤️ He loves all of us, and made us in His image to show love and compassion to each other. I pray this blesses you today.
Artist Statement
I love art, it is an escape for me, from wounds and emotions that I can make beauty out of. I can use the Holy Bible and see the goodness of God and paint it on canvas. Although the world may seem dark at times I see glimmers of hope lighting my path all the way home. ❤️ Through the living and breathing Word of God! I pray this blesses you 🙏🔥❤️
