I challenge you to find more strengths!! :) Your creativity is a strength, research abilities (research is an important aspect of the arts). How about your ideas? Skills/practical abilities you have? If you were in a room with a mathematician, a tree surgeon, an office manager and shop assistant what makes you different to those people?
