Hello, I'm Kathleen Gadeken, illustrator, writer and business owner and proof that it's never too late to begin.
I became a published illusrator at 57. I launched a new business at 60. I've since illustrated eight published books – including an Amazon bestseller and a Nebraska Book Award winner.
I almost didn't try. I kept asking myself:
-
"Am I good enough?"
-
"Is it too late?"
-
"Where do I even begin?"
Now I create every day. I share that journey. And I cheer on
every woman who's ever whispered "what if?"
You're not too late. You're right on time.
