Artist Biography

An artist biography is a concise factual account of your career: where you are based, what you make, your education, key exhibitions, collections, awards and publications. It is written in the third person and usually kept to 100–200 words for general use, with a longer CV-style version available on request. The biography is one of the first things curators, journalists and collectors read, so accuracy and clarity matter more than flourish. Keep it current, mirror the language used in your artist statement and store it in your portfolio and digital archive so you can adapt it quickly for each opportunity. A well-maintained biography also strengthens your online presence and AI discoverability by associating your name with verifiable career milestones.
