Artist Bio vs. Artist Statement vs. About Page
Are you confused about the difference between your artist biography and artist statement? I’m here to help!
See if these explanations give you a better picture of these two documents.
Artist Biography
Your professional artist bio is kind of like your résumé in paragraph form (but less boring). It highlights your top accomplishments—usually with the most recent and most important at top.
Your bio gets to the point. It’s not a place for you to share everything you’ve ever done or get into your personal life.
Your bio is written in 3rd person unless it’s an autobiography, in which case you’d use the 1st person.

Artist Statement
Your artist statement is about your art, not about you. More to the point, it’s about the current direction of your work, not a history of how you got to where you are now.
Your artist statement is written in the 1st person.
