Answer 1

Making art is a solitary profession in that we don't really need a team or a partner in order to create. In many ways, having people around distracts us from this creative process. But that doesn't mean we can't learn to balance creative time with social time.

Most of the artists I know (though not all) are solitary sorts... but that doesn't necessarily mean a solitary person is an artist. Some solitaries are just plain anti-social beings without any creative leanings whatsoever... and I know plenty of those, too.
