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 have always had a passion for art which is inspired by the colors in nature. I photograph images focusing on a shape, color, person, object that has caught my eye. I later might interpret that photo or part of that photo into a painting. I began expressing the beauty around me with watercolor but now I am mostly experimenting with acrylics and mixed media. I use a variety of methods and try new techniques. I find joy creating and discovering new skills. I consider myself an eclectic artist since I like to explore, trying to find success.
Current projects are focused more on layering acrylics, collage, stencils, and markings, building up texture. Each layer adds color and contrasts that help determine what object will appear. A story or emotion evolves a reflection to the viewer.
