Aging Artfully

Aging Artfully presents magnificent role models over the age of 85, and their engagement in the creative arts. Gorman interviews twelve women who maximize the possibilities and potentials that living longer affords. They demonstrate that creative thinking and actions continue until the very end, and give us pause when the thought arises, “Oh, I can’t learn anything new at this old age.” The book includes many photos and suggests reasons why arts activities are ideal ways to increase health in the last stages of life.
