When art is seen and practiced as a profession, there are expectations on both the artist and the client. These deal with sales, marketing, quality and “professionalism.”
When art is seen and practiced as a calling, it’s a different story. Art is a drive, even a compulsion, that often starts in childhood. It’s relentless in search of a truth and pushes aside public criticism or rejection. The journey must be taken; the art must be made.There are ways to make art between these two practices. But any way chosen should be driven by commitment and integrity.
