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. For more information, contact Kathy Signorino, artist programs director, at kathy.signorino@oac.ohio.gov or 614-728-6140.

Bio
Born and raised in Italy, my education and work experiences have been in business until 2010, when I relocated to Columbus and started painting every day and taking art classes.
My passion for color and texture is reflected in my paintings. After several years working with oils, I’m currently creating with acrylic and mixed media.
I love to add abstract features in the form of unexpected patterns and marks that add visual interest and catch the viewer’s attention. The resulting work is vibrant and happy.
My work has been shown in several shows all over Ohio and is in private collections in the United States, Spain, and Italy.
You can find examples of my work on my website, at my studio at High Road Gallery & Studios, in Worthington, OH and at Marcia Evans Gallery in the Columbus Short North Art District.
When I’m not creating art, I write about creativity and the creative process. I’m passionate about sharing with others what I’ve been learning, and I have authored many online articles published on Feltmagnet.com and other sites.
I am also very active in the local artistic community, serving as an officer of the Dublin Area Art League and being an active member of the National League of American Pen Women.
Artist Statement
My love for color and for the beauty in world around us inspires me every day.
I like to create inspired by positive thoughts and hopefully my work will carry that positivity to the viewer.
“Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that.
Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.”
Martin Luther King Jr.
