Your bio is your self portrait, and as important as the art you create, because story is the connecting link between you, your creation and your patrons.

~LeAura Alderson, cofounder iCreateDaily®

Artist bios are an important part of art. If you're selling — or seeking to sell — your art or services, you'll want to create a bio that evolves as you do. Your bio is your story in your words. But if you're already worried because you're a visual artist and not a writer... an artist of words, take heart. There are workarounds which we'll get into.

If your art is your hobby, and you're not sure if you want it to become something more, this may still be helpful for you. Your art and those who admire it, will all benefit by the addition of story to your creations.

It’s human nature to connect with stories. Stories breathe life into things and bridge connections with people. We connect with the life, the lesson, the message, feelings and experiences behind the story. 

This article features 7 members of the iCreateDaily community, in addition to other artists, as a sampling of different ways and approaches to creating artist bios and art descriptions of and for your art.  Art descriptions help connect people with your art and with meaning. What connects is also more likely to touch hearts and minds, and to sell, if that’s your goal.

We look forward to seeing more of your bios, creations and stories!

The day is the way to create the life you want to live.
