An artist isn’t a certain age or form of expression but a mindset. For an artist main goal is to have their works noticed for what it is not necessarily the green it returns. Of course most artists truly don’t want to starve (unless it is part of their expression) but monies aren’t the motivating force for their creation. They might even be willing to take on a position that has nothing to do with their desires, so they have enough income to pursue their art in the way their mind perceives it. Once they are willing to sell their art away from their heart/soul then they are no longer an artist but a business person instead and they lose the color that has truly made them happy.
