5: Encouraging women artists in their prime with Sharon Bruster

Sharon Bruster swapped a career in the NHS for the life of a sea-inspired Cornwall visual artist and has never looked back. She is also the co-founder (along with friend and fellow artist Maggie Cochran) of Prime Women Artists, a support, networking and exhibiting membership for women artists (of a certain age!) In Cornwall.
In this episode we talk about Sharon's transition from pursuing a hobby of capturing the coast and sea in her art, to declaring herself an artist; her love of talking about her art but her dislike of promoting and selling of her own work. We also discuss the difficulties of pursuing a professional creative career when you are over 50 - and the general invisibility that being age can bring - and how it inspired her to launch Prime Women.
