Artist Bios

As a new artist or an established creative talent, a well-written professional artist bio will effectively share your creativity, talent and vision. It is an incredibly powerful marketing tool which will distinguish you from your peers and highlight your creativity to the world. The artist bio will also introduce you and your work to an eager and appreciative fan base.  

So what can a well-written artist bio do for your career?

◦ Sets your creativity and collection of work apart from others in a highly competitive market

◦ It provides important value for SEO (search engine optimization) on your website

◦ It gives a quick way for clients or contacts to learn more about you

What should your professional artist bio say?

Your professional artist bio should tell a compelling story. It should provide insight into your inspiration, motivation and vision for your work. You should see the artist bio as a bridge you use to connect you to your potential audience on a deeper level. Ideally, you want to include:

◦ A brief introduction about your inspirations and passions that you would like highlighted.

◦ Outline of your formal training and educational background. 

◦ Brief description of your history, commissions, or engagements.

◦ Special awards or achievements you’ve earned in the industry.

◦ Any volunteer or community activities you’re involved with.

◦ A snippet about your personal life and background.

We will weave these elements together into a story that brings your artistic vision into focus. It is a distinct opportunity to bring awareness and curiosity to bear on what really matters to you as an artist. A well-written artist bio is not a resume, but a thoughtful and engaging tool used to tell your story in a meaningful way.
