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.
The way a person talks to others, or how one writes, can be a creative expression. The ways a person can express his or her 'art' is infinite.
