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.

Tim Myrick
Artist
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.
