You Know You are an Artist if…
No, I’m not leading into something humorous as the title might imply, just a definition for all of you who sometimes wonder “Am I actually an artist?”
If your heart and soul go into your work, if you feel like a little bit of you now lives with the people who buy your work, then yes, you are an artist.

Beautiful words and yes anyone who works with there hands and let there imagination and heart work together is an artist.
It took me along time to feel that I could call myself an artist but I can now. Age, wisdom, following my muse(heart) when I create, the desparate need to create, the prayers for those who will look at my art, all have made me realize that I don’t have to be famous or sell alot of my work to be an artist. Creating is soul food for me. And it is a joy seeing others creations too.
Totally agree with the words and totally agree that being an artist is not done for monetary gain. It is a way of being and looking at the world. Inbred. I have many creative interests because I get bored doing the same thing all the time. If I could not be creative in some way, I think I would die.
