Statement*

Word count sample (173 words): An artist bio/statement, ideally under 250 words, serves as a brief introduction to an artist's work, offering insights into their artistic process and intentions. It should be written in the first person and explain what the artist creates and why, adding context for the viewer's experience. The statement should be clear, concise, and engaging, helping the viewer grasp the work's essence. "My paintings explore the complex interplay between light and shadow, using bold colors and expressive brushstrokes to evoke a sense of emotional intensity. I draw inspiration from the natural world, but my work is not meant to be purely representational. Instead, I aim to capture the raw beauty and transient nature of existence through the manipulation of paint and form. My focus is on creating visual narratives that resonate with the viewer on a visceral level, encouraging contemplation and reflection. The process of painting becomes a form of dialogue, a conversation between myself and the world, and a way of sharing my own unique perspective with others."

For more than 30 years, the art community in central Ohio has given generously to support Equitas Health's lifesaving HIV/AIDS prevention, treatment, and support services. This year, Art for Life will give back by compensating artists 10% of the final auction price for their pieces. Artists accepted into the auction will receive an email requesting that they fill out a W9 form for tax purposes. Remaining funds raised from the auction of artwork will go to support Equitas Health's critical mission. If art does not sell, Equitas Health will notify you, and you will have until December 31, 2025 to retrieve your work from our office at 1105 Schrock Rd. After that, Art will remain in care of Equitas Health and possibly displayed in one of our health centers in Ohio.
