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
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.
To achieve this effect, I place clear water onto 400 gm paper and place small amounts of watercolor pigment into the “moving” water, letting the color flow with the movement of the water. Layers of water and light pigment create translucency.
My process is a balance of control and freedom, letting the water define the space. This is an expression of my journey through my career and life – a balance of control and freedom.
