Old in Art School

Painter Nell Irvin Painter's journey is inspiring, but I wonder what motivated her to make such a big career change at that stage. Was it a long-standing dream or a sudden epiphany?

Painter candidly discusses the struggles of starting over while managing personal responsibilities. How did others relate to that tension in their own lives?

It's inspiring to see someone embrace change later in life, but does this book challenge the idea that reinvention is only for the young? What are your thoughts?
