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
My working habits and processes originate from my formal studies in printmaking, painting/drawing, photography, graphic design and textiles. I am concept-driven and view processes as tools in my toolbox. I often address sociological, political and feminist issues. The way in which I ask and answer questions at the intersection of ideas and materials creates a common thread that runs through the body of my work.Ultimately, I am a storyteller and tell my stories in a variety of ways, both literal and non-literal.
