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.

Bio
P31 ART & DESIGN is a Christian, family-run art and design company that was developed as a means to uplift our family’s entrepreneurial spirit. Our team is comprised of a mother-daughter duo with occasional contributions from her sons. Through artist expression, we take pride in ourselves as we enjoy the experience of creation and celebrate the uniqueness of every work of art. Our company is located in Akron, OH, and officially came into fruition in March of 2021. We are currently a fully operational online store that not only sells art, but also original pieces that are handcrafted and handpainted goods such as earrings, pouches, purses, and mugs. There are no two items that are the same. We also use our original paintings as inspiration for our fully customizable printable products for our journals, greeting cards, and wall art prints. At P31 Art & Design, our art is our passion available for all to enjoy. Our long term goal is to eventually own and operate a brick and mortar storefront from which, as a hub we can offer a place for many artists to sell their art locally.
Owner and artist, Stephanie, is a wife to a loving and supportive husband and mother to 5 wonderfully rambunctious children. Stephanie enjoys crafting artwork that reflects her passions and expresses her feelings on what is going on in her home and community. She also enjoys reading, cooking, and gardening. She is currently a member of the Women’s Art League in Akron and the Cuyahog Valley Arts Center.
Co-Owner and contributor Kyla Ann, is Stephanie’s eldest. As a young adult with the energy and drive to make a difference in the world, Kyla Ann uses her social media management skills and passions to connect with other communities and individuals alike to bring both awareness to our company and the purpose of our artwork. She possesses a spirit of tenacity and ambition that is a much-needed contagion in the world.
Together the mother-daughter duo plans to bring awareness to Black Art while inspiring others to chase after their dreams. Our primary goal is to continue to become active advocates of the Black Art community aspiring to build networks of connections that can last a lifetime.
