What is an Artist Statement?

An Artist Statement is key to letting your viewer or audience understand your work when you cannot be there to explain it yourself. This document focuses on process, theme, and intention.

Artist Statements can be used to describe your comprehensive artistic practice, a body of work, or even a single piece.
