The Importance of the Artist Bio

One of the ingredients to a successful career in the arts - aside from having a growing portfolio of quality artworks - is recognition. You want to be talked about, followed, written about, invited to events, and collected. For this to happen you need a growing fanbase. We rely on social media, particularly Instagram, to do the heavy lifting in this arena, but more needs to be said about you than a mere photo of your latest painting. And it all starts with an effective Artist Bio.
