What is an Artist? an answer to Tom...?

Tom asked us all "what is art?"  and  "what makes an artist?"

People that make art? but that definition is dependent on the definition of "Art."

Is art made only by Artists.

Does it all depend on proficiency in a medium?

Originality? no.

I guess I don't have an answer.  Tom's origanal post on the subject started a few interesting conversations, so I am just bringing up the subject again.

Here are some Artist (?)  talking about their Artistness...
