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
I am a multidisciplinary visual artist working between craft, painting and sculpture craft, installation, sculpture, and sculptural paintings. Through the various materials used in my work I explore conditions of care, loss, and solace found in the botanical world and the rumbling earth below our feet.
