Starting Over at 68 - The Art Life I Never Expected

Starting over at 68 wasn’t part of my plan… but somehow, this new chapter on YouTube has become one of the most meaningful parts of my art life. In today’s video, I’m sharing the honest story of how I began my channel at 67, why I kept going at 68, and what it feels like to reinvent yourself creatively later in life. If you’ve ever wondered whether it’s “too late” to begin something new, I hope my story reminds you that your creative journey is still unfolding. This video includes reflections on my early art career, the shift from the pre-social-media world, and the intuitive nudge that brought me to YouTube. ✨ If you’ve ever started something new later in life, I’d love to hear your story in the comments. Your experiences truly inspire me. #olderartist #startover60 #nevertoolate A special thank you to Alexa Saarenoja for the inspiration and encouragement via your videos -    / @alexasaarenoja   If you’d like to explore more of my artwork, you can visit my website or view my available pieces through my online galleries (links below).
