Hey welcome back! Yesterday I received a question on YouTube from an artist named Mica. She wants me to make a video on 'becoming an artist in his/her 50s'. If you have spent many years working a job you didn't like, and wish to pursue art as you approach retirement, this video is made for you.

The main complaint Mica has was 'no one is taking us seriously, art galleries weren't interested in our art'. It's about getting recognition in this almost impenetrable art world, and overcoming challenges in forging a later-life career in art.
