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
The foundation for my artistic vision is based on the concept that the idea dictates the medium. As an arts advocate, I work within a variety of mediums with a current focus on installation. Formally trained as a muralist alongside interdisciplinary artistic pursuits, I incorporate cultural traditions in the philosophy and creation of the work and look forward to collaborative efforts. Nature is often a theme and source material while recognizing the ephemeral quality to my work based on site specific materials and or delicacy of the material. I am currently focussing on the healing components of art and material. Exploring ways to connect various communities through scaled art projects is a focus to foster dialogue for the purpose of arts engagement.
