One thing that jumped out at me studying art history in college that seems to have faded away is that in the last hundred years or so we've changed the definition of art. New definitions are all about expression of the artist, while old definitions were about the appreciation of the audience, and appreciation meant "pay check". To me, a much older and better definition of art is whether someone likes your creativity enough to support it.
By that measure, even if it's just your spouse indulging your new lens for something to put on your wall, to them, it's art.
