'artist' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'tiny cream confection' is the wordplay.
'confection' is an anagram indicator (I've seen this in other clues).
'tiny'+'cream'='tinycream'
'tinycream' with letters rearranged gives 'TRACY EMIN'.

'providing' acts as a link.
