I believe a graphics artist can be a good level maker. graphics artists make graphics out of pixels, level makers make graphics out of sets of pixels, or 'tiles'. It's all the same, except the end result for a level maker is considered a level, or what i like to call 'series of graphics in certain places'. It all comes down to what you break down the level to be.
level = 64x64 tiles(?), tiles = 16x16 pixels, pixel = graphical unit. heh so a level maker is actually a graphics assembler ^.^
