If you have common sense you are not an artist?
I prefer my own definition. An artist is a person who wants to call
themself an artist.
I call myself a 'homemaker' when I'm remodeling homes. Whatever you do -
employ your sense of humor (if you have one). If you want to call
yourself an artist make sure that you do it with a sense of humor
(self-deprecating). (I call that common-sense).
