Artist Biography

A focused and organized way for a variety of creative individuals to represent themselves. Basically a brief biography on background, accomplishments, goals and personal objectives.

Advantages - Short and sweet positive biography. Showing most information that might be important to know about where someone is coming from. Unlike a job resume, it's focus seems to be equal parts background, body of work and intention of future work.

Disadvantages - Fairly limited, not very personal, can lack personality or flair. Tends to need a personal website to back it up. Can be boring.



How to write an artist's Biography- Basic intro targeting musicians.
Artist Biography.com- an online host for artist biographies.
Global Gallery.com- A great list of selected artist's biographys, mostly famous.
Jeff Koons art bio-Artist's bio example.
Kadir Nelson's website - Artist's bio on his website.
