Review your artwork and consider what inspired it. Preparation is vital to a successful artist's statement, so it is important to return to a large amount of your material and justify it.
Write in the first person in a strong, active voice. Rather than showcasing your knowledge of art theory by using technical terms, concentrate on using strong verbs. Make your statement unique to your art.
Arrange your statement into subheadings. These subheadings could include the themes in your work, or your influences. Devote a section of the statement to any achievements, such as exhibitions or awards.
Discuss any artwork you are currently working on. Explain the influences behind it, and what goals you hope to achieve from it.
Write confidently. Try to avoid sounding like a novice in the art form and avoid apologetic statements. Write with conviction and self-belief.
Revise your artist's statement regularly. If there are parts of it you believe could be improved, or if your work is exploring new themes, alter your statement accordingly.
