Planning a solo exhibition in Melbourne, Australia – opening night in March.
Any thoughts on this artist statement for the show….note: I have never written an artist statement and am pretty nervous about it….?—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-
“Angels, Gods and Elements” is a collection of works depicting mythological and fanciful characters. The collection demonstrates my ability to utilise the inspiring qualities of colour and is intended to impact the audience and spark the imagination.
I have demonstrated an interest in colour from a young age. Over the years, I have become appreciative of the ability for colour to be vibrant, expressive and evoke emotion. When I work with colour, I am reminded that those chosen for a particular piece must work together to illustrate the story behind the work and capture the attention of the observer.
Self-taught, I specialise in oil pastel on craft wood (MDF). Each piece produced is initiated with research and deciding on a story to be illustrated. A piece is considered complete when the character of the illustrated story and their precise nature has been truthfully captured.

Hi Vivianne,
I think you’ve done very well. You’ve started off with the collection then given abit about your passion for art and skills behind you that contribute towards the collection. Which, in my view, is what an artist statment is all about.
Here’s a link to writing an artist statment that may help if you need to bit more info.

I am also working on an artist statement. I am hoping someone will help me? I have been reading the entry for Art Fairs. I noticed one of the things that they want is an artist’s statement. What do I put there? Can anyone help me on this? Thank you so much. I am still working on my portfolio. I have two framed pictures and three matted frames.
