Need to write an artist bio and don't know where to start? Grab a pen and some paper and let's work on this together! Writing an artist bio may seem like a daunting step, but by asking yourself basic questions about yourself, you can come up with your written introduction!

It's the final week to catch Walter Dale's exhibit at A Coffeehouse on Upper Main Street in Waterville! Walter is an off-the-grid artist from Waterville, using spray paint to create eclectic and ethereal abstract works of art. His artwork was juried for River Arts located in Damariscotta back in September of 2019. He not only works with spray paint pieces but also acrylics and felt pen illustrations and more when he gets that creative bug.

What challenges do you want to overcome when tackling the business side of your creativity?

I avoid calling them "problems" or "weaknesses", and instead refer to those areas that I need to overcome or require help with as "challenges". A challenge turns with a positive spin, something that can be tackled with a sense of reward when resolved. Sometimes it's as easy as looking at the issue from a different perspective, and sometimes one just needs a sign in the right direction to find those resources that can give you a hand up to get to that summit.

Let's work together to face those challenges; you need only to ask.

You can do it! :D

I’m Ames Cyrway, and I’m a consultant for artists and artisans who struggle with art management and online presence so that they can focus on their trade.

As an artist myself, I understand that the focus is on the creative process; managing, marketing, and organizing products for inventory and sales fall by the wayside because it’s boring. It fails to hold interest. With my background in graphic communications and information technology, I’ve developed solutions to help with the aspects that many artists and artisans struggle with.

I have a passion for assisting other artists in technology and management by creating assets that assist with product organization, image capture and graphic design for both web and print, eCommerce, and social media assistance for local artists and artisans so that they can focus on the craft.

It needs to be done; have me do it for you. Schedule your free one-hour consultation and together we can find the focus for your goals!
