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
I’m a mixed media artist passionate about watercolors, botanicals, and abstract art. I love the way watercolors evolve with each layer and enjoy blending them with other mediums to add depth and interest.
My work combines abstract and realistic elements, capturing the delicate beauty of flowers while embracing spontaneity. Each piece reveals its own unique character through the creative process.
