If you promise not to laugh, then yes
I suspect a statement should be more 'arty' than a CV but I prefer my work to do the talking, not me. I find some artist's statements positively nauseating.

Since March 2009, Ann has worked full time as an artist/printmaker, specialising in the reduction method of linocutting, She produces small editions of hand-made original prints in her studio overlooking the Ogwen valley"
ETA - yep, online delving suggests it definitely need to be more of an "I work like this because ...." statement, not a CV.

(what I do)I’m a full time artist/printmaker, specialising in the reduction method of linocutting. I produce limited editions (normally no more than 30 prints in an edition) of original prints, working from my studio overlooking the Ogwen Valley in North Wales.
(how I do it)I use a ‘nipping’ press for my smaller work and oversize prints are meticulously hand burnished. I produce some monochrome work but many prints use between 5 and 12 individual colours.
(Why do I do it) ...stuck on this one at the moment
EV
that you show the world you see
that they are part of those processes
I'll try to have a think.
less than seventeen words and might fit somewhere
i spose it depends whether you want to keep it to facts about method or about the emotional input from artist and viewer

(Why) My passion is to make linocut prints acceptable as serious works of art, as expressive, adaptive, flexible and exciting as any other. My inspiration is the North Wales landscape.
(BTW - there is a typo on your web page - the last paragraph on the page about the artist says "belive")
