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.

Artist Statement
“Through the artist’s eyes we collectively breath in the very essence of what makes us truly human. Art’s over all effect would be ubiquitous were it not for the astonishing number of variations. Through my art I am joining this diverse chorus as I mine the vast human aesthetic mix, seeking my own authentic voice of expression.”
“Creating art is an exhilarating, hyper-focused activity where time stands still. I get lost in the act of painting and in the narratives emerging in front of me.”
“Art transforms — in my art I see more than people — I see potential and hope.”
