    This is the basis of my definition of the difference between an
    artist and an artisan/craftsperson...the artist creates work to
    present an interpretation of his/her experience and perception of
    inner/outer reality with no thought of making money by his
    activities...the artesan must always have an end-user in mind,and be
    producing work that will appeal to that person in order to live by
    his/her work..........the artist either doesn't need money (already
    has enough) or doesn't need money (which is generally a cause of pain
    to his/her family, as they are forced to suffer voluntary/involuntary
    poverty, or agree to work on the artist's behalf to provide material
    comfort), the artesan/craftsperson needs to work and create within
    the economic sphere in order to earn a living for himself and
    family. Steve Holden www.platayflores.com
