Last Artist Standing shares the essays of the lives of 31 artists over the age of 50, how they have sustained their creative lives, what paths they have led, showing who contemporary artists are today. They are mentors to other artists, having learned how to thrive and be creative through decades of life's travails. Sharon Louden wants to share these stories with the public so that their models can be replicated by all age groups, both within and beyond the art world. This collection addresses the ability of these artists to remain contemporary as they adapt through generational shifts, the physical, financial and professional challenges they have overcome to remain vibrant and sustaining artists, and their role as inspirational models to others who may be turning to art late in their lives.
