I got my own gallery!!!! need help with Bio ASAP

OK, so the lady who owns the gallery at our nearby collage finally called me back and I have my own gallery showing come January 2012.

I am so excited!!!!!!!

The problem is, I need to have an artist bio and 3 examples for press releases emailed to her by midnight tonight.

I suck big time at writing about me.

So this is what I have so far....

I am Crystal Wightman, was born in Bethlehem and raised in Harding, Pennsylvania. I am a self taught nature photographer. I enjoy the outdoors and with that enjoyment comes the love of nature photography. I have been taking pictures since I was 7yrs old, but photography really became a passion of mine when my husband and I traveled across the United States for our honeymoon. That is when my love for nature and photography became one. I enjoy shooting landscapes, wildlife and macro. Out of the three, macro is my favorite. Macro photography brings in a whole new world. With my photographs you can see beauty that you pass on by every day.

If anyone cares to chime in to make it better, add something, take something away etc... Feel free to comment. ....ASAP.

Thanks.

Congratulations on the gallery. I wish I could help with the bio, but I am like you and can not writing those things. There is a reason my "about me" is always blank.

The only thing that makes me iffy about adding those two locations is...this bio I believe will be on the college's website and newspaper and any other place to announce my coming. So if people check these two locations. They will see the prices on the prints are different and will be different compare to the gallery prices. (which I am not sure how to price the gallery to begin with).

Like part of me would like to announce my work is on display at such places and yet part of me doesn't. I'm half/half.

Thanks Scott. I hope so too, but first I need shit money to afford the prints and frames. lol

YOu could say that PREVIOUSLY MY WORK HAS BEEN DISPLAYED and leave it at that or you canleave it out and I don't think it will make a difference

Thank you Rob so much. OK I am going to submit what I have before it gets too late. I don't want to be a late submitter. She seem very much into that 12am deadline. Not sure why, as she probably won't get to my email until tomorrow morning when she wakes up. lol

when you get a hard copy with your bio let me know and you can mail me a couple of copies-TEAR SHEETS - is what writers call them. we use them in our writing portfolios
