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
ARTIST PROFILE
Steve Carmean
I worked in the graphic arts field in Columbus, Ohio for 30 years. In 2017 I discovered oil painting. Originally impacted by the paintings of Edward Hopper, my influences grew over time. I am drawn mostly to the interplay between light and shadow, as well as geometric shapes. Most important to me is the overall feeling of the painting. Some current influences include painters Sarah Sedwick, Jane French, Timothy Horn and Monica Popham. I’ve studied with artists Joe Lombardo and Sarah Sedwick. My goal is to develop a body of work in a recognizable and engaging style. I believe my graphic arts background is evident in my painting style, thereby helping to define my artistic fingerprint.
