Artist Website Examples and Art Portfolio Sites
Artist websites and online art portfolios made with Kleap. The ones the Kleap team built as examples are labeled that way. After the gallery: how to present the work, the statement and sales inquiries.

What to put on a artist website
A curated body of work
Show your strongest 15 to 30 pieces, grouped by series or year rather than one endless grid. Curators and buyers judge the edit as much as the art, so leave out work you would not show today.
Details for every piece
Title, year, medium, dimensions and availability, in the same order every time. Photograph work straight on in even light, and add a detail or installation shot where scale or texture matters.
Artist statement
150 to 300 words on what you make and why, in plain language. Describe the work and your process rather than quoting theory; a reader with no art background should finish it knowing what to look for.
CV: exhibitions, residencies, press
Solo and group shows, residencies, awards, collections and publications, each with year and place. Emerging artists can include student and community shows; a short, honest CV beats a padded one.
An inquiry or commission form
Buyers rarely email out of the blue. A form asking which piece or what kind of commission, budget range, timeline and contact details turns a visit into a conversation and gives you what you need to reply.
Studio news and a mailing list
Upcoming shows, open studios and new series. A short signup form for studio news lets collectors hear about new work from you directly rather than through a social feed.
About and representation
A photo of you or the studio, where you are based, any gallery representation and how to reach you. Galleries and curators want to know quickly whether you are represented, and by whom.
Tips for a artist website that works
- Make images large and give them space. A neutral background keeps colors true; heavy filters misrepresent the actual piece.
- Put medium and dimensions right under each image, not only on a separate page. Scale is usually the first thing a buyer asks about.
- Update the site whenever a series is finished. A current website tells galleries that the practice is active.
- Write alt text describing each piece. It serves visitors using screen readers and gives search engines context for your images.

Build an artist website for Lena Ortiz, a painter based in Santa Fe who makes large oil landscapes. Minimal gallery style: white background, generous spacing, large images and a thin serif font for headings. Pages: a homepage with one full-width image and the latest series; Work, organized into three series, each a grid of pieces showing title, year, medium, dimensions and availability, with a large view on click; Statement with a 250-word artist statement; CV with solo shows, group shows, residencies and press; News for upcoming exhibitions and open studios; Contact with a studio photo. Add an inquiry form that stores the visitor's name, email, piece of interest or commission idea, budget range, timeline and message, plus a newsletter signup that stores email addresses.
Questions people ask
What should an artist website include?
A curated portfolio organized by series, an artist statement, a CV with exhibitions and residencies, an About section saying where you are based, and a way to inquire about work or commissions. Many artists add an available-works page or shop, press coverage, and a mailing list signup for studio news and upcoming shows.
How many pieces should an art portfolio website show?
Most artists show roughly 15 to 30 pieces per series or body of work, chosen for consistency rather than volume: enough to show a clear direction, not so many that weaker pieces dilute it. Older work can live on an archive page, so it stays available without leading the portfolio.
Should artists list prices on their website?
It depends on how you sell. Listing prices or price ranges saves time for serious buyers and filters out casual inquiries. Artists represented by a gallery often leave prices off and send inquiries through the gallery, since pricing is usually set together. Whatever you choose, keep it consistent across the site and your other channels.
What is the difference between an artist website and an art portfolio?
An art portfolio is the curated set of work itself, often submitted for school applications, grants or open calls. An artist website wraps that portfolio with everything around it: statement, CV, news, contact and sometimes sales. Many artists keep a focused portfolio section inside a broader site so they can share either link.
