Artists are people with a genius for finding a new answer, a new connection, or a new way of getting things done.
That would be you.

An artist is someone who carries his center within himself. Whoever lacks such a center has to choose some particular leader and mediator outside of himself.

To be an artist is to recognize the particular. To appreciate the peculiar. To allow a sense of play in your relationship to accepted standards. To ask the question “Why?” To be an artist is to risk admitting that much of what is money, property, and prestige strikes you as just a little silly.

If you do those things you’re an artist, no matter what it says on your business card.

An artist is he for whom the goal and center of life is to form his mind.

An artist is somebody who produces things that people don't need to have.

Being an artist means to be continually asking, “How can it be better?” whatever it is. It may be your art, and it may be your life.
