55 and starting my art journey!

I’m 55 years old, and this is the year I stop treating my art like a hobby.

For most of my life, I chose the practical path. I worked full-time, did the responsible thing, and quietly told myself that art was something I could enjoy “on the side.”

In this video, I’m sharing why I’m finally taking my art career seriously — at this stage of life — and what that decision really looks like behind the scenes. No hype. No overnight success stories. Just an honest plan for growth, learning, and showing up.

If you’re a woman over 40 or 50 who:

Always wanted to pursue art more seriously or wonders if it’s “too late” to start now...

…this video is for you.

I didn’t go to art school. I still work a full-time job. I’m not pretending this is easy — but I am committed. This channel is about documenting what it looks like to build an art life later than planned, with integrity, patience, and courage.

✨ Topics I’ll be sharing on this channel:

Making art over 40 and 50

Improving artistic skills without art school

Building confidence as a midlife artist

Preparing to sell artwork

Applying to juried shows and galleries

Balancing a full-time job with a creative life

If you’re done waiting for permission and ready to take your art seriously — you’re not alone here.
