Comments on: How Personal Stories Enable Word-of-Mouth Marketing for Visual Artists  https://artmarketingnews.com/personal-stories/ Innovative art marketing advice for visual artists weekly since 2005 Wed, 17 Apr 2024 09:15:21 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.8.1 By: Barney Davey https://artmarketingnews.com/personal-stories/#comments/57818 https://artmarketingnews.com/?p=40400#comment-57818 In reply to Connie.

Thanks for your comments. You don’t have to tell stories or talk about your art; not every artist does. The advice is given because stories help to generate intrigue and interest in your work so you can sell it more easily. However, you should take into account the possibility that the very aspects of your work and life that you find unremarkable will pique their interest. Your choice of subjects, the creative process, the artistic technique, and even the day-to-day life of a wildlife artist are all parts of their story that you can share. Audiences often enjoy learning about why artists create, what their routines are like, and the details of their craft. By sharing these elements, you can construct a narrative that is both true to your experience and engaging for your audience.

Your quiet life and love for wildlife are unique stories worth sharing. Talk about how you create your art, the beauty of the wildlife that inspires you, and your favorite techniques. Share interesting wildlife facts and the importance of conservation. Give a peek into your studio and your art-making journey. Your authenticity and passion are compelling narratives that invite connection and community.

I don’t have any real “story” to tell. When I do most pieces, they’re just animals I want to do (I’m a wildlife artist), and there’s not really a reason I choose to do them, other than I like them. There’s not usually a story behind a piece. I lead a quiet, unexciting life, and I’m happy that way, but there’s nothing really interesting to tell anyone. So, what could I write about? You can look at my website to see what I do, but most pieces have no “story” unless I make it up.

Thanks for your comment and questions. Unfortunately, your request is unclear. Where do you want to add a paragraph? There are no photos of yours on display here.
