The book has been great fun. I did the exercises with a group of friends and
we saw so much inspiration in each other and ourselves.
It was quite surprising.–Penelope Sienna, Australia
WRITING THE ARTIST STATEMENT:
REVEALING THE TRUE SPIRIT OF YOUR WORK
TAKE
A PEEK INSIDE!
I recently sold 3 paintings! My statement is having immediate
results, which I never anticipated. One buyer told me that my artist
statement made her realize she needed to purchase one of my works!
Again, thank you.
–M. DeMarco, painter

Your book was a lifesaver!
The writing exercises took away my fear and made a difference not just in my writing,
but also in my work. I would have been lost and frustrated without it.
–Lauren Simon, ceramic artist

Artists,
You can present your work with confidence
and credibility to the right people
at the right time .... without compromising
your artistic voice or spending all your valuable
time on exasperating
business stuff.
Check out the smARTist™ Telesummit,
where art-career experts
deliver fact-filled,
practical marketing,
business,
and
promotion strategies.
Are you a creative professional who has been avoiding making your presentation & career materials as important as your art supplies?
If you are, or want to be, a ‘working’ artist because you believe in your work and want to share it with the rest of us…
I assure you that your art can be in the world inspiring all of us and you can thrive too, without sacrificing your vision or compromising your artistic integrity.
Sadly enough, the left-brain details of ‘art business’ can feel overwhelming to your more right-brain creative personality, so it’s no wonder you might ‘hide out’ in the studio feeling guilty, possibly confused, finding satisfaction in creating your work, but with no clear direction at the end of the day.
Rest easy, there is another way to go.
Whichever art discipline, or craft, you are in – 2-dimensional, 3-dimensional, multi-media, digital – you can get recognition, get exhibited, and get paid for your work and still remain true to your artistic vision.
- Find new ways and places to show your work
- Create the right presentation materials
- Develop a web site that swings
- Learn how to present yourself with
confidence and credibility
- Attract more time and money to do what you love
Gifted by life and hard work, artists illuminate our world.
But if this work is not in the world and of the world, the candle
sputters and dies. Learning the business of art keeps the artist,
and the art, shining for us all. –Ariane
Hi, I’m Ariane Goodwin, author of Writing The Artist Statement: Revealing the True Spirit of Your Work.
I’ve worked with dozens and dozens of artists at all levels of accomplishment, from emerging to “arrived,” helping them develop successful presentation materials and strategies to get their work in front of the right people.
Where my business was, and where it is today, has changed
dramatically due to Ariane's coaching talent in directing and working
with me on ideas, and her ability to help build foundations! She
is the best investment I could have ever made! –G. Dalsgaard,
glass artist
If you feel ready to move your career forward, then this is the right place to be.
Dr. Goodwin is professional and articulate, with amazing
insights and creative career ideas. She takes the business pressure
off of me so I can concentrate on painting. –Olga
