Last Artist Standing: Living and Sustaining a Creative Life Over 50 highlights the lives of 31 artists who have continued to create, contribute, and lead well beyond the age of 50. Many of these artists—often overlooked by the marketplace—offer powerful models of perseverance, adaptability, and creative integrity. Through decades of personal and professional challenges, they have built enduring practices and become mentors to others, illuminating pathways for artists at every stage of life.

By sharing their experiences, Last Artist Standing offers models of resilience, ingenuity, and pragmatic solutions—valuable for artists of all ages and for those both inside and outside the art world. This book amplifies their voices and celebrates the sustaining power of art across a lifetime.
