50 over 50 2022 Edition

Meet the participants of the 50 over 50 Portrait Experience 2022 Edition.
In their own words……

Creative. Independent. Stubborn.


I’ve changed each decade- my 40’s were much tougher than turning 50! Being 63 seems ridiculous to me…I still feel like I’m in my 30’s!
You can handle this. Some things will be shitty, some will be amazing, some will be sad, some will be heartbreaking, some will be hard and some will be so fucking fun! Remember the happy, joyful, peaceful and loving moments- all those will sustain you thru the rest of the shit….and you will always be strong enough to get through.
That I was always my authentic self.
My mother was a very tough Italian Catholic- valedictorian, taught math and Latin and ALWAYS had to do things her way. My Italian side was the strongest influence. My father was kind, generous of spirit, funny and so loving. I lost him at 19 and being an only child- that threw mom and I into a whole new world.
Moving on after my father died and again after my mother died. And- deciding to not go to Houston when my husband had to move for his job.
Living in my own truth.
Laughter with my family, cooking and making art.
