It is weird being a new and emerging artist at 61 years old. After working in the nonprofit world and owning a grant writing business for twenty-five years I decided to pursue my passion of photography. I graduated with an MFA and started teaching pinhole photography the next Monday and haven’t slowed down since. The most difficult part of being new to the art world is showing people my work. People seem to expect a bright and shining face when looking at a new and emerging artist and I greet them with grey hair and droopy boobs. It is a challenge trying to get my work out into the world. Life is a challenge and I am determined to find my place even though I am a little late coming to the party. So, here I am on Steemit trying to fit into your world.
