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
CREATIVE PROCESS: A BRIEF
Painting is my chosen form of storytelling. My paintings are intended to capture the essence of a particular moment and tell its story for the viewer’s enjoyment. I have found watercolor to be the perfect tool to interpret and portray the sights and mood that make the story of a particular scene so compelling. Recently, I rediscovered both my early love of nature, and my passion for capturing its warmth, complexity, and abstractions through my watercolors.
Watercolor affords me the freedom and versatility to capture the mood and visual uniqueness of each subject I paint. Employing multiple techniques such as transparent wash and dry brush, I am currently focused on the wonderful abstractions of nature when viewed from close range.
My goal throughout my career has been to create powerful visual statements that engage the viewer, inviting them to step into my art and become part of the story. I am proud and humbled to have been included in some of the most-highly regarded National and International watercolor exhibitions in the nation. I employ various techniques, such as transparent watercolor and dry-brush, and have won a number of awards in national and international competitions.
CAREER SUMMARY
Having spent the first 25 years of my professional career in the corporate world as an Art Director and Creative Director. I returned to my roots as a painter in 2019, and in 2222 everything changed. A kidney transplant gave me new life and my creative enthusiasm exploded. Having returned to painting ten years ago, I found my voice as a painter and jumped in with both feet. I have produced my best works since the new kidney gave me new life.
