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.

Susan Rossiter
Artist
I’m Mixed Media Artist inspired by the colors, shapes and patterns of the 50’s through the 70’s. By Mixed Media, I simply mean using more than just paint in my pieces. In college I studied fine art metals, printmaking, design, and art history as well as painting and drawing. I incorporate all of it into making my own unique papers and collage elements. Texture, composition and color auditions play a big part in my process and I love my job- it gives me those good brain chemicals. I work and live in Ohio between two studios and teach workshops online and in person all over the country. My strengths are discipline, focus and an absurd sense of humor.

I like the idea that fiber is created with the use of tension and relaxation. In order to make fabric, the fiber must be held under tension. When that tension is released, the fabric become supple and moldable. Fiber also carries and hold onto energies. I touch every single fiber in this work multiple times during its creation. I act as the conduit for the energy that is put into the work. Every work seems to develop its own story, every work seems to have its own personality and certainly has its own energy.
