Everyone can be an Artist
When we think of 'art' we normally think of a painter, applying the brush on a canvas. But any person, having a creative skill in any activity, can be an artist.

Focus on The Act of Creation
Find out what you enjoy, what you loved as a kid, or what engages you, and do that. It can be finger painting, baking, cooking, collaging, oil painting, weaving, writing screenplays, anything that doesn't' make you tired while you do it.
The act of creation is itself a reward, and going for what you love doing without any expectations or stress makes the real art come out.
