That is, that professional artistry is embedded and embodied in professional practices and has to do with the way the professional perceives and responds to the professional encounter. Schön ( 1983 ) and Schön and Rein ( 1994 ), although seeing professional artistryas largelyan epistemological notion, do underline the importance of framing, taking a particular stance in relation to practice and practice problems or situations.
