Think about this. Visual artists, of all the artists, are the most expansive and flexible in their practice. They study the body and act out of their bodies—mind, spirit, psychology, emotion and physicality. They can be carpenters, stonemasons, metal workers, draughtsmen, painters, quilters, knitters, some of those, all of those and more. They are after beauty and something true and enduring. What they say is personal, political, conceptual, mysterious and true to their voices. They are generally after money only to survive and make more art.
As a result, the public is suspicious of them and parents cautious about art as a career.
