Denise's question

In her blog post, Denise asked a very good question "What do you consider to be your art?"
Honestly, I think my art isn't very artistic in nature and it might sound very cliche, but I think my art lies in the realm of listening.  I know how to listen to people, pick up on key things that they say and can even infer from what they are saying to problems more complex in their roots. And by using this art of listening, I can then formulate a much better response and am able to help more people than someone who just listens to one's superficial statements.  
In fact all a conversation is, could be interpreted as verbal art. One person speaks, conveying with it imagery and emotions behind each word, the listener then interprets the statement the other makes and formulates a response to it using their own artistic style and flair. The process then repeats.
If a conversation is art, then couldn't a debate be considered a clash of artists?
