This discussion makes me think of the wonderful African-American artist Alma
W. Thomas, who had a full career teaching art in D.C. public school, then
went on to become a great and recognized artist after retirement, in her
60's! (If you aren't familiar w/her artwork,

looking forward to my later years as a time for my art creation to take
center stage.
