Can it be that how the artist speaks of his or her art sets the tone of how the artist is perceived by the general public as either the hobbyist or professional?
I seem to have more problems with convincing family members that this is what I do for a living than strangers. Since I stopped answering phone calls during business hours and outright told family members that although my studio is in my home - I am working, they are slowly catching on.
Alex ,it would be interesting to see the results of such an experiment .
