Are You an Older Artist? Here’s Good News


Hi Reader,

Greetings and hello again:

I’m excited to share something I’ve been working toward for a long time. It’s called Older Artists.

For the past two decades, I’ve written to help artists navigate the business side of things—how to market, how to sell, how to find your way. This work has always been more than a business, much the same as making fine art is for you. It brings me joy and satisfaction in ways that purely making money can’t.

I am an artist.
Words are my medium.
Artists are my audience.

Older Artists is a “words as art” project—with a purpose. Short essays about aging and creativity, and staying engaged—on your own terms, in good company.

It’s for people in their later years who still enjoy creating, but without the weight of what they didn’t do or the pressure of what comes next. Its perspective comes from the wisdom of age.

Enjoy the read.

A Practical Way to Simplify Life and Business

Hi Reader, Greetings and hello again: Over the years, I’ve noticed something about artists—and creative people in general. We tend to collect tools, ideas, systems, and opportunities faster than we can realistically put them to use. At first, it feels productive. More options, more possibilities, more things to try. But eventually it can start to feel heavy. Too many choices. Too many moving parts. Too many things are competing for your attention. That’s what led me to write this week’s post:...

what others think

Hi Reader, Greetings and hello again: Sometimes we make a clear decision — and then an objection appears. Maybe someone voices it. Maybe we imagine they will. Either way, it can quietly override what we already knew was right. This week’s post looks at that pattern — and how awareness keeps it from steering you toward choices you wish you could take back later. 👉Click the red button below to read the post.

connections and collectors

Hi Reader, Greetings and hello again: Selling art can feel personal — because it is. This week’s post isn’t about tactics or pressure. It’s about connection, consistency, and why finding collectors becomes easier when you lower the stakes and focus on the relationship first. Sometimes the shift isn’t in strategy — it’s in mindset. 👉Click the red button below to read the post. To your success, keep creating. Peace out!
