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.

Mille Guldbeck
Professor of Art Bowling Green State UniversitySchool of ArtBio
Mille Guldbeck is an interdisciplinary artist who grew up between the US and Denmark and currently resides in Ohio. She earned an M.F.A. from the University of Iowa and holds bachelor’s degrees from Columbia College in Chicago, Aarhus Universitet and The Jydske Kunstakademi in Denmark. An avid amateur naturalist and trained as an anthropologist prior to working in the arts, she utilizes a wide variety of materials and experimentation in her work. Her practice addresses our relationship to time, scale, and ecology through process-based interactions with sites and materials. She works across sculpture, drawing, painting, and photography to distill correlations between human and geologic scales and capturing moments of interactions within natural and manmade phenomena. Her work deals with the intersections of the event, failure, painting, misinterpretation, awe, and repair.
She has lectured and exhibited extensively both nationally and internationally. Residencies and awards include an Ohio Arts Council Individual Artist Fellowship, an Iowa Arts Council Grant, Knud Hojgaard’s Fund and residency fellowships at the Ragdale Foundation, Jentel Foundation, Anderson Ranch Arts Center, Vermont Studio Center, Virginia Center for Creative Arts, Grafisk Værksted and Hollufgård in Denmark, SIM in both Akureyri and Reykjavik, and Hafnarborg Center for Arts and Culture in Iceland. She has been in exhibitions curated by Ian Breidenbach, Mark Rospenda, Staci Boris, and Elina Alkio. She was awarded an American-Scandinavian Foundation Grant for 2006-07, an E.D. Foundation Grant in 2006, and was chosen by the Fulbright affiliate, the Lois Roth Endowment Fund, as the U.S. Fellow for 2007 for her practice in painting. She is currently a Full Professor and Area Head of Painting and Drawing at Bowling Green State University in Ohio.
