Every time I think about applying for a show or sending my portfolio out, I revisit my bio and my artist statement. I've been beefing up my portfolio and this is another step. Along with photographing my art, this is another aspect of being an artist that I wish I'd been better prepared for.
I've found out about The Artist's Guide by Jackie Battenfield from a classmate and while I don't always agree with Battenfield on everything, there's a lot of helpful information in this book. My artist statement could probably be much better, but it would probably be much worse without this book. I've also learned a lot of other things from the book and would recommend it.
