    Art is just doing something for the pride of it. A carpenter or electrician can be an artist. People express art in countless ways. I think it would be very unlikely you aren’t an artist in at least one aspect of your life.

        If given an opportunity, I think you would. Maybe not right away, but of you didn’t have to work, I think you’d build something instead of just playing video games or watching TV, because that gets old.

        Some options:

        • software dev - this is me, I want to build a P2P reddit alternative and video games
        • 3d modeling
        • landscaping
        • cooking
        • welding

        All of that is art. Art is just building something for the sake of seeing it exist rather than to pay the bills. Chances are that if you could choose your work instead of whatever you’re doing now, it would include creative expression.

            I don’t know you specifically, but people I do know generally have something they’d like to create. I think those that don’t would if given enough of an opportunity (i.e. not a week or two off work, but several months).
