In reply to Linda Lea.

Linda: You can make your bio whatever you want it to be! But do always have it come back around to the art.

What about my non art life and education which took up 50 years? How best to handle that? It does have an influence on my subject matter.

And accolades- I don’t have anything significance. How do I fill that space?

I am brand new to art business – recently had my first request to be part of a group show in a small gallery in a local continuing care facility. They have asked for a Bio, and I wasn’t sure of the difference between a Bio and an Artist’s Statement. Thank you for the explanation and help!

In reply to Richard Farwell.

Richard: Only a half dozen? Yes, you need various versions. Just be sure to give the bios good document names: Bio-3 para.doc, Bio-100words.doc, etc. Then they’ll be easy to find. I have all of mine in a folder called Vitas.

It seems everyone wants something different — half page, one paragraph, etc. To me the requests are for extremely short bios. What’s the point in that? I must have at least half a dozen incarnations floating around on my hard drive.
