ARTIST'S STATEMENT

- Indicate places which have influenced your art ("Last year I produced a series of paintings based on my three month trip to Outer Mongolia")
- Explain your reasons for your current choice of subject matter - Say why you work in this way. You might be exploring a concept. You might be exploring a place. Or you could be painting in series (which makes life sooooo much simpler!) For example, you might be developing a series of drawings with a view to achieving a gold medal in botanical art.

* Work out what are your core and supplementary statements - Lead people through your work. Don't try and say it all in one go! On my website the core and overarching statement goes on the 'About the Artist' page. However I also have supplementary statements on each of the gallery pages.

* Never forget that the short version takes longer. Start long and aim to get shorter and shorter until you get to concise! Draft, revise, review, edit, redraft, revise, review, edit etc

* Don't be afraid to review and revise over time - Don't worry if you keep changing your artist's statement - your art also changes over time so it's logical that your artist's statement should to. It can also be a very positive sign. It's very good if revision reflects how you are becoming clearer about what it is you do and what influences the way you work and what you produce.
