How one views oneself?   An artist might know WHERE the eye goes on a 
horse head, but you have to know how to move the metal to get the eye
there.
Do you have to "play the game " to call yourself an artist, to charge
three
times the price as a craftsman?? .....Just suck up to that type of
clientele that 
has the kind of money you want? .... to get into the art shows of the
caliber
we want. Do you have to have a STUDIO to produce "art"???

You can call it what you want, charge what you want, call your shop what
you 
want, call you customers    "clients"  if you want..  But your stuff will
be named truthfully
by OTHERS. 
How do you present YOURself??
