...and have potential lost my sanity. But me, an Artist? Nah, can’t be. Just because I spend every day making art, and some days selling art, doesn’t make me an Artist. I would love to hear some feedback on what defines an individual as an Artist.

For those curious, Dictionary.com defines Artist as:
1. One, such as a painter, sculptor, or writer, who is able by virtue of imagination and talent or skill to create works of aesthetic value, especially in the fine arts.
2. A person whose work shows exceptional creative ability or skill

And if you are so entertained, “exceptional creative ability”, what is GOOD art and what is just crap? Is it wrong or disrespectful to consider what someone considers art to be just crap?

When does something go from Interesting Idea or Craft Item to Art? Share, if you are willing, a story of some “art” you have seen that you would not have considered as Art.
