I have had to create a 'professional’ portfolio for my art. Actually I say that like I already had one… I didn’t. So I set about trying to find out what a portfolio should look like; both an online one and a physical one - but here’s the problem… no one really wants to show you everything in detail.

So I want to show you what I’ve made, just in case you’re a wee bit stuck too.

E-PORTFOLIO

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

High quality pictures of your artwork. Just the artwork, no frames or props needed. You don’t need a DSLR just some good daylight and a phone - remember you can edit your pictures in Lightroom or other editing software to make them less murky.
All your experience bullet pointed somewhere so you don’t leave anything out.
Canva (free version)
Knowledge of the brand you’re trying to portray (and yes your art is a brand).

I’ve uploaded the e-portfolio below so you can see it and how I laid it out. Please bear in mind that this is set up for my brand and my aesthetic - all art is copyrighted if you want to re-use please get in touch with me for permission.

Please note this is the website I used for help with composing my statement. It was so helpful for laying out all the information in a succinct way that didn’t miss anything out; so I would 100% recommend.

Any events you want to showcase
Visual image sections - if you have different subjects, styles or events you want to showcase in particular I would suggest having these as separate double spreads
