Barney Davey – Personal Storytelling for Artists & Creatives

Barney Davey – Personal Storytelling for Artists & CreativesYour stories create conversations about you and your art when you aren’t there.Personal StorytellingTips and tools to be comfortable talking about yourself.Communication is critical and sometimes challenging. What is often even more challenging is talking and writing about ourselves.Poor communication leads to missed opportunities.We worry we might ramble, seem to brag, or just clam up because we don’t know what to say. And the worry is legitimate. It’s possible to happen because we are unprepared, nervous, introverted, or a mix of those things.You have worked so long and hard to create and produce this artwork you want to get into the world. To do that—get your work into the world—it takes help.We All Have Choices and DesiresWhether you want to get into a gallery or show, or a school or museum you deal with people who have a genuine interest to know more about you. The right ones will help you do what you want and live your dreams.Unless you are the rare outlier who always knows what to say and how to say it with ease, getting help to develop how you talk about yourself is a great idea.Why Storytelling Works So WellStorytelling works because, like art, it is a primal form of communication. Humans use it today just as they have for ages. Personal storytelling taps the twin powers of human interest and word-of-mouth marketing.Besides making art, storytelling skills are the most valuable in achieving a gratifying journey as an artist. Your storytelling skills enhance your ability to achieve your goals.Art and stories, both written and told, are powerful tools to touch people. When art and stories are woven to work together, they create a compelling experience for artists and their followers.Personal Storytelling Opens Doors to Easier SalesWith personal stories, you introduce yourself and your art with simple eloquence. You can use your words, whether written or spoken, to express your heartfelt thoughts, opinions and experiences on art and life. Your words and stories add dimension to your art and to your life as an artist. You can work to refine and hone them in humble, appealing, even masterful, ways that make it fun to enjoy your art and knowing you.Problems in Making Meaningful ConnectionsIt’s common for many people, no matter who they are, or what business they’re in, to find connecting with their audience of intended buyers and influencers a challenge. They struggle to engage people and get them to listen and take time to know them.Using the Power of Personal StorytellingThe problems people face are not because they can’t or won’t connect. It’s because they haven’t learned to talk with confidence in the context of their story.Your art is a visual connection to others. Stories add more connections on new levels. When potential friends, benefactors, or buyers hear or read your story, in your words, the value of your connection with them goes next level.Storytelling doesn’t require spellbinding tales because human interest grows in truth. Genuine communications make you stronger. People sense when your expression is authentic. It’s a near given how often those who are worth knowing—your best prospects—will find your story an opening to relax and share in kind with you.You Are One-of-OneThere is more to you than you realize. Your history is rich in lessons from your life experiences. There are parts of your story you take for granted, or you have lost awareness of. It’s life and it’s normal. Working to recognize them is transformative and beneficial in uplifting ways.Skip to the curriculum here if you are in a hurry.

Imagine a buyer who loves your work, has bought a piece, and knows some of your story. The collector enjoys sharing her “insider” knowledge with her own stories about you and your art. So, when she tells a new admirer about your art, she sprinkles in tidbits from the tales of your personal storytelling. This kind of interaction creates emotional connective tissue.Stories enhance the experiential value of everything, especially art.Here’s an example to picture in your mind. A patron is telling a friend about a new piece of art she bought. She takes delight in mentioning how Georgia O’Keeffe inspires this artist. And how the artist went to great lengths to follow in O’Keeffe’s footsteps. The artist attributes her guiding light in creating artwork to this quote:“It is only by deduction, by elimination, by emphasis, that we get at the real meaning of things.” Georgia O’KeeffeThe buyer takes pride in telling her appreciative viewer friend that when you know some stories about the artist, it’s easy to see the O’Keeffe influence. She also loves O’Keeffe and that’s why she had to buy it.Now, through her retelling of the artist’s story, she’s made a new fan who is educated and informed about the artist. Artists’ stories are a force multiplier in growing reputation and sales.It’s Phenomenal How Word-of-Mouth Works!Word-of-mouth happens because you enable it with storytelling. It creates a path that goes from buyer to avid collector and on to evangelist. Storytelling cultivates art buyers who exert influence in your favor. They’re happy to have evolved in the relationship with you, starting with stories of your art and you.As an artist, your stories create a conversation for you when you aren’t there.- Barney DaveyThere are five modules in the course:Why We Love Stories: You’ll start by examining the benefits of using personal stories in your art business.
