"Anyone can cook..... Not everyone can become a great artist but a great artist can come from anywhere."

I'll go with that. Most everyone can produce art, cook, teach, play soccer (football) and so on. Few are those who demonstrate mastery and can be considered artists of their discipline. To me it takes time and effort and must be earned. Or, maybe earned in the sense of learning through trial and error. So much so, that the learning path to art is unrecognizable in comparison to simply learning how to "do" something. It can likely be learned through vast amounts of dedication and time.
