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

Hello!

I paint the energy of nature, most often of water. Water offers us free energy through the release of ions into the air. The cool thing is, these ions can help heal our minds and bodies. My work is an abstract interpretation of “ions” and the energy of nature, fueling us and the world around us.

I work in watercolor and acrylic, using clear water as the conveyance for pigment, letting water move the color and define the space.
