Does advanced age feel more like a liability than a strength? Welcome to the art world, which can suuuuck for mid-career artists.

Ageism in the art world is more than just a problem—it's a barrier that can feel insurmountable, especially for women artists over 60. (And yes, while it affects everyone, the impact on women is particularly harsh.)

I'm not going to pretend ageism doesn't exist. I'm not going to pretend ageism doesn't exist. It does, and it will impact you. However, how you view your age will determine the extent of its effects on your career. YOU are not beholden to another person's preconceptions. Your age does not have to be a limitation. It is a strength waiting to be unleashed.

I'm tackling the issue head-on this week on the Art Problems podcast by sharing seven game-changing tips that will help you:

Reframe your mindset and embrace your ambition

Master essential skills for today's art world

Transform your studio practice to work with you, not against you

Consider these tips a toolkit for visibility, success, and artistic fulfillment in your 60s and beyond.

The best part? Many of these strategies are just as powerful for younger artists. It's never too early (or too late) to take control of your art career!
