Artist Bios and Resumes :: What to include

Edward Winkleman has posted an excellent article on items he, as a Gallerist, looks for when reviewing the artist bio or resume. The post includes elements which could be construed as shedding a negative light upon the artist's bio, as well as items Mr. Winkleman feels are essential to include. Some of the categories covered are biographical info, education, exhibition information, awards and grants and collections. I think you'll find this article very useful and informative.  Thanks Edward.

Nice Things People Say

    - Gilbert Boro, Sculptor

  • "I am very impressed with the work Lisa has done for us in this short time. She has a light touch, very appealing and attractive, plus real style."
    - Audrey Heard, Art On Groton Bank

  • "I was just handed the most incredible magazine article that I think has ever been written about me. It is just fantastic and people are presenting me with copies of the magazine. Really beautifully written, really beautifully written and no one has ever put all the pieces together as nicely as you have. Thank you so much."
    - David Black

  • "Ok, Don't stand in a doorway when you read this as you may become hopelessly lodged... Hang on to your head, an ego boost attached... I love it Lisa. Spot on nicely done, access-able, significant and of a standard. I'm stoked, can't thank you enough, very happy and impressed."
    - Jeff Lilly : INK Publishing

  • "I am glad you are a perfectionist- You have given us a world-class site that will be an asset to The Guide as we move forward and expand."
    - Matt Holmes, The Art Guide

  • "I found Lisa Mikulski to be just the right resource at the right time: focused, professional, with a great eye for color and design, and with very fast turnaround time for getting images up on the web -- an artist's best friend and there when you need her! She's got a really good command of the two worlds we as artists now inhabit: the technical issues of cyberspace in today's market, combined with bottom line issues of artistic judgement. I highly recommend her as a great resource for web design, artistic and gallery management."
