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/Resume:
In 1979, I attended classes at the Alexander School of Painting in San Diego, California. From Alexander Chidichimo I learned the basics of looking at objects in terms of blotches and shapes rather than objects, and constructing complex color palates.
In the beginning years I focused on realism, painting still-life and portraits in oils, then, moving to pastel portraiture.
In 2014 I developed the contemporary abstract style of “The Gene Pool Series” in oils.
Currently, my focus is on Extreme Realism all in the medium of Colored Pencil.
