    If you have to work to convince them, then, perhaps, you are not as good as you think you are.

    Understand, it does not mean that you AREN'T an artist, but, if people don't recognize your talent, then that talent needs more development. In other words, NOW isn't the time to push the idea that you ARE and artist.

    I have been a full-time, professional artist for over thirty years. In fact, I just sold five paintings in the last five days.

    The answer to your question is "NO."

    In my experience, people think of you the way they want to think of you... which is not necessarily the way you really are.

    For example, my parents are still waiting for me to get "a real job." And, often when I tell people I am an artist, as I hand them my business card, they say "Oh, I'm an artist too. I paint ________ "(fill in the blank with actual things people have told me: fish on water barrels, roses on metal trays, ghosts, like Bob Ross).

    On the other hand, many people around the world think I am an artist because they have bought my work... so you figure that out!

    If you create original artworks, you are an artist. Don't sweat what people think.

    Why should you have to convince others of what you are. If you think you are creating art, you are an artist.
    If you mean, how is it possible to sell your creations? that is a different question. And I don't have an answer for you.
