Importance Of Artist Statement

Importance of artist statement is one of the best things that artists can do to build a collector base.  It is important for collectors to understand your story.  What is your work about?  How do your paintings relate to your story.  How do you approach your art personally and worldly.

Working Artist For Decades

I have been a painter for many decades and early on a very special friend encouraged me to take a look at why I decided to become a painter.  Was there something I was trying to say besides just creating work on canvas.  It took me over six months exploring the why, other than the pure joy of creating.  I have created many different collections that have different subject matter.  All of the collections begin from the statement that I have created.  When I step up to my canvas the thoughts that come to mind are my philosophy first and then the subject.  Many of my subjects relate to the balance of our society.  Have both a feminine and masculine perspective are good qualities in creating balance.  I do a series of women portraits, and friends that touch on this subject.  The statement runs through all of them. “Celebrating the colorful magic of life”.
