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.

Sue Krizman
Owner Blue Bee StudiosBio
In 2021, Sue Krizman started Blue Bee Studios as a digital art and design studio featuring licensable, hand drawn patterns for the textile and home décor industries that speak to the narrative that nature provides for us. From there she has expanded the studios offerings to include an extensive line of silk scarves featuring her intricate and rich designs.
Artist Statement
My approach to my art is through nature. Focusing on the feelings the natural world offers and interpreting them through my art. As creator and artist behind Blue Bee Studios I offer hand drawn, digital work with a narrative mixed with metaphors and natural messages. My background has been advertising, as an art direction and creative direction for over 25 years and I am now focusing on my studio work and living in Rocky River, Ohio. I like to think of myself as a visual storyteller, weaving what I see and feel into patterns that delight and inspire. I work in Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop and my work has been described as clean and fluid. Detailed, and confident. I love to collaborate, and you will find me open, hardworking, and responsive.
