Summary
Independent artists often struggle to price their artwork appropriately due to perceptions surrounding the materials used. For instance, artists using unconventional materials like EVA foam may find their work undervalued by potential buyers who associate these materials with lower quality. This leads to frustration and financial instability, as artists may feel compelled to switch to more conventional materials to gain recognition and sales, despite the time and effort they invest in their unique creations.
