I have always dreamed of being an artist, from a young age I believed that that was what I was going to be when I was older.
When do you get to the stage where you get to call yourself an artist? When you sell your first piece of art? When you graduate from art school?
For me the definition of an 'artist' has changed somewhat since my school days and I have discovered that yes I am an artist, throughout many aspects of my life, not just with a pencil in my hand. My son is proof of that.
