What do you mean you’d rather spend your last dime on art supplies…
…instead of writing about what someone can already see!
The Real Problem?
Selling your art is not as simple as just seeing it
because …
All of us are hardwired for complexity.
You and your viewers share multiple pathways for processing:
- visual
- auditory
- kinesthetic
- linguistic … and these are just the beginning.
The Real Solution?
Professional artists need several methods for bonding with the processing pathways of their viewers…
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

This is NOT for you …
 |
If you are convinced that your visual work doesn’t need words |
|
If you are hyper-focused on the marketing aspect of your statement |
|
If you are reluctant to dive into honest self-reflection |
|
If you like your material cut & dry |
|
If you expect every page to be packed with info (sometimes human eyes need a break from dense text!) |
|
If you have a hard time trusting an exercise when results aren’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.

Is For You, when you…
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 Wassmer, artist
