You know that big unwieldy case you carry around with originals or full size prints? That is one kind of portfolio. But it is not the best way to show your work to gallery dealers, art reps and art consultants.

To market your art and present your career accomplishments, you need a professional presentation portfolio that shows that you are an artist who knows a thing or two about business.

The E-Book, “Creating Your Professional Portfolio: Your Master Marketing Tool Kit” by Aletta de Wal is the answer!

If this is your first portfolio, you will learn how to create and assemble the material to put together your own professional presentation portfolio in a manner that has been acclaimed by gallery dealers and arts writers. Don’t worry if you don’t yet have the same items as the artist in the samples. When you see something you don’t yet have, add it to your list of things to do to build your career.

If you already have a portfolio, you can use these guidelines to spruce it up. Simply follow step-by-step instructions and examples including: cover letters, resume, artist's statement, press and reviews, visuals, inventory list, and presentation of the portfolio.

Simply follow instructions and samples to create your cover letters, resume, artist's statement, press and reviews, visuals, and inventory list. Then assemble and you are ready for any gallery submission, juried competition or residency application.

Once you have a Master Portfolio, all you have to do is update it whenever you have an event, award or new body of work. This package is a must for artists who want their support material to stand above the rest!

Your professional portfolio will become an efficient, cost-effective marketing tool that is straightforward to assemble and easy to maintain. You can send it to galleries, museums, art reps, arts writers and collectors. Expert viewers will quickly and easily find everything they are looking for when it is presented in this most logical, informative way. They will see you as an artist who knows how to do business.
