Maybe you should say something like She has studied art and her art is in private collections through out the united stated. (only a suggestion) What I'm saying is just come across with more confidence.Angela Sullivanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04259497363075016359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6707438402749748832.post-59706494464480260842010-08-07T16:48:11.138-07:002010-08-07T16:48:11.138-07:00Thank you all.

You might want to turn it upside down...start with a big concept/purpose statement and then fill in the details?<br />I think you might find this article about artists' statements interesting. Her website is fabulous, as is her business plan for 'older' artists!<br /><br />http://ancientartist.typepad.com/ancient_artist_developing/are-you-guilty-of-this-originality-sin.htmlKaylyn Munrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11717537170993339125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6707438402749748832.post-45294195289058688182010-08-05T23:01:23.077-07:002010-08-05T23:01:23.077-07:00Barbara, it is well written in simple language and...Barbara, it is well written in simple language and pretty much covers a whole lot about various aspects of yourself.To the point and apt, I would say:-)padmajahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18297562916603110230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6707438402749748832.post-49434176568708195392010-08-05T21:25:16.911-07:002010-08-05T21:25:16.911-07:00Hi Nancie.

I majored in comparative literature, and worked as a paralegal and then (now) as an investigator. It was probably more contrary than actually rebellious, but rebelliousness does sound more interesting. Thank you.Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15574184493184278713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6707438402749748832.post-24493081019987825312010-08-05T10:05:40.500-07:002010-08-05T10:05:40.500-07:00This was interesting to read and also very easy to...This was interesting to read and also very easy to read. I liked it. One note - the 2nd to last sentence doesn't seem grammatically correct. (sorry, it's the old typesetter in me that does this sort of thing).<br /><br />1 question tho - what career did you pursue due to rebelliousness & varied interests? I really like that sentence, the word rebelliousness is such a very rich word, in my opinion! :)Nan Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03056726501810316005noreply@blogger.com
