In our Late Bloomers series, Jenny Douglas interviews women across disciplines who have found their greatest professional power in their later years. This month Jenny is in conversation with visual artist Katherine Bradford! About Katherine:  Born in 1942, Katherine Bradford has only in recent years started receiving her full, unbridled recognition. Bradford blazed her own path in the art world, painting daily, and building a community of likeminded artists in both Maine and New York. At 80, she's at a pivotal moment in her career, creating some of her most thought-provoking paintings and exploring her biography as an artist, woman, mother, and lesbian. Bradford, who splits her time between New York and Maine, is aware of Maine's long lineage of nautical painting and builds upon the legacies of Marsden Hartley and John Marin, among others, yet her works transform the genre of marine painting into densely packed, metaphorical realms.

Nina Collins is in conversation with Julie Lythcott-Haims about her new book, Your Turn: How To Be An Adult! About the Book: What does it mean to be an adult? In the twentieth century, psychologists came up with five markers of adulthood: finish your education, get a job, leave home, marry, and have children. Since then, every generation has been held to those same markers. Yet so much has changed about the world and living in it since that sequence was formulated. All of those markers are choices, and they're all valid, but any one person's choices along those lines do not make them more or less an adult. More About Revel: www.hellorevel.com
