I think it's true that there are many areas of the country where there
simply does not exist the market for top end items. Even if someone does top
end work it comes down to being able to market it in areas that do hold a
potential client base. Having the talent to produce impressive and flawless
work does not equate  to having clients beating down your door.
What are some ways that folks can find clients who are willing to pay for
top end items?
