And if all of this fails to give you what you want, don’t be afraid to hire a professional writer. Freelance writers can be found at your local newspaper, online, or at your local campus. Just don’t dump that grain of sand out of your artist shoe until you have given your audience what they really want: a peek behind the canvass, marble, glass or clay pot and into your creative fire.
**Search engine logic: Because the World Wide Web is about words first, your artist statement becomes crucial. Think about it: Can you type in a picture to find something on the web? Next time you’re surfing, notice how you look for words to confirm where you are, what you are looking at, and what to do next. Then…get started on your artist statement.
