When Emily Urquhart and her family celebrated the eightieth birthday of her father, the illustrious painter Tony Urquhart, she found it remarkable that, although his pace had slowed, he was continuing his daily art practices. With the eye of a memoirist and the curiosity of a journalist, Urquhart began an investigation into late-stage creativity. Urquhart reveals how creative work, both amateur and professional, sustains people in the third act of their lives, and tells a new story about the possibilities of elder-hood. Residence: Kitchener, ON.
