You're an artist as soon as you decide to call yourself one.
I often do demos at schools and some of the little kids come up and watch with awe. They say to me, "Are you a REAL artist?" I respond, "Yes. Are you, too?"
When they inevitably say, "No", I ask if they have ever made a drawing or a painting. Of course they respond, "Well, yes..." and I tell them, "Then you're an artist, too!" They go away with such pride, and I like to think, new ideas of possibilities for their future.
