Writing the Artist Statement
with Grace and Ease
Intimidated by writing your artist statement?
I’m betting you’d rather spend your last dime on great art supplies…
…than write about what someone can already see!
The Real Problem?
Selling your art is not as simple as seeing
because …
We are all hardwired for complexity with our:
- visual
- auditory
- kinesthetic
- psychic, and linguistic sensibilities
(to name just a few),
The Real Solution?
You need several strategies to bond with art lovers …
Because you never know which one will seal the deal!
I recently sold 3 paintings!
My statement is having immediate results, which I never anticipated.
One buyer told me that my artist statement made her realize she needed to purchase one of my works!
Again, thank you. ~ M. DeMarco, painter

No filler. No fluff.
A powerful, step-by-step learning process
guides you through what, why, how, where, and when
you need an artist statement… as basic as your art supplies!
Writing the Artist Statement “Ambitious Bundle”
is NOT for you
if you …
 |
Are wedded to the idea that your visual work does all the heavy lifting and you don’t need words |
|
Are hyper-focused on the marketing aspect of your statement |
|
Are averse to diving deep and honest self-reflection |
|
Like your material cut & dry |
|
Expect every page to be packed with info (sometimes pages, and your eyes, need a break from dense text!) |
|
Have a hard time moving into and trusting an exercise when the result isn’t immediately obvious |
Revealing what, how and why you do your art
does not dismantle
the beauty or mystery of it.
Quite the opposite.
Your effort invites others to
participate in the mystery & share the beauty.

Writing the Artist Statement: Revealing the True Spirit of Your Work gives you
just the right amount of hand-holding without insulting your intelligence.
And best of all, you don’t even have to like to write.
I have to tell you that your book has been an invaluable tool for me.
I used it years ago to write my first “authentic” artist statement. Now years later, I use it when my work evolves and changes because I need to 1) not only write about these changes, but 2) to understand them.
I continue to use the book when a new series emerges. Writing a “statement” for a series helps me to see where the work is going and how it is all connected.
~ Michelle DeMarco, artist
From beginning to end, your book was easy
to follow and understand.
~ BRUCE FOWLER, sculptor
This book was good for me to read, encouraging, and fun to do. It never occurred to me that my statement would change over time as my work evolved. Thank you.
~ KAREN J. WASSMER, artist

Your book is a fantastic teaching aid.
The floodgates have opened and made him realize that he can write.
What a godsend!
