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.

Artist Statement
These paintings are part of an ongoing series titled “Thresholds.” They explore contrasting realms, spaces or transitions such as: earth and cosmos, inside and outside, twilight and dawn, past and future, waking and dreaming. Often inspired by architecture or landscape, light and transparency play an important part of the construction of each image.
