SHORT BIO / TEXT EXAMPLES

Your short bio can be as long or short as you wish, with a MAX word count of 250. It will accompany your artwork image and caption on the website. For guidance, I've included a few examples below, each with a different approach. I invite you to write in the style that feels most appropriate to you.

NARRATIVE / ARTIST STATEMENT STYLE

Mike Ousley (American, b. 1976) paints a direct commentary on Appalachian life and folk traditions, though their simplicity belies their depth. Ousley has painted since childhood, and though trained (MFA, University of Cincinnati), he foils Western European traditions with the folk style of his youth. Having grown up in a small coal town in Southeastern Kentucky listening to stories told by friends and family, he credits the visionary artists and rich heritage of the region as his primary influence. "I see it as folk art, about real folk people and culture."

CURATORIAL / CV STYLE

Nereida Patricia (b. 1996, New York) is a multidisciplinary artist and writer based in Chicago. Patricia’s practice spans sculpture, text, and performance, and explores themes of history, trans poetics, and identity. Her work draws from postcolonial and feminist theory, Peruvian symbolism, as well as autobiographical fragments, to build new mythologies around the transformation of the human body. Patricia's work inhabits the complex struggle for freedom and resilience of Black and Brown and queer subjecthood. Patricia holds a BFA from the School of the Art Institute Chicago and has also studied at The New School. Her work has been exhibited at venues including Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago; Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit; Roots and Culture, Chicago; Prairie Gallery, Chicago; Annka Kultys Gallery, London; the Museum of the Moving Image, New York City; The Knockdown Center, New York City; and POWERPLNT, New York City, among others.
