Helen Hiebert took my workshop on "The Artist Talk" and nailed her elevator speech. See below.

To write the rest of your speech, you're invited to:
Over the past months I’ve coached a dozen artists on projects ranging from critiquing a new screenplay for a writer, to helping a musician kickstart his marketing plan, to coaching an installation artist through a prestigious grant application, to working with a painter to finesse a powerful artist statement.
Until then, I'm wishing you focus and calm, Helen Hiebert's Elevator Speech As you read Helen's elevator speech, see the two "add-ons" she uses depending on who she's speaking to. Also, notice how her language paints an image in the mind of her audience.My name is Helen Hiebert. I am an artist and an author and my medium is paper. I take banana plant waste, grind it into a mushy malleable pulp and turn it into sheets of paper which are smooth enough to draw on, supple enough to fold into book pages and strong enough to construct sculptures and installations. Add-on #1: I’m the author of Playing with Paper, which will be published by Rockport Publishers next January and features 18 creative projects. I hope to see you at my book release party. Add-on #2: My next installation, called "The Wish," is a giant dandelion with detachable paper seeds which serve as a metaphor for human connectedness: we all begin as a seed, we are all connected, and each of us travels far and wide throughout our lives like the dandelion seed on the wind. Would you like to support this project by purchasing a seed and joining my dandelion?
