百岁老人的艺术人生：勇敢开始，永远来得及
At 99 years old, Nita Draut shows us that it’s never too late to start something new and find a passion that moves others.
Nearly 30 years ago, when Draut was 70, she picked up a pencil for the first time out of simple curiosity. She had never tried drawing before, but this small and brave start soon turned into a wonderful artistic journey that brought her much joy.
Draut mainly uses graphite (石墨) to draw, and her inspiration comes from the people around her. When she sees someone whose face she wants to draw, she politely asks for permission. Surprisingly, she has never been refused. For her, each person in her drawings is special and meaningful.
Over the years, drawing has become more than just her hobby. It’s a way to connect with people. With the help of staff (工作人员) at Ascend Healthcare, her works are now shown in Fusion Art Gallery to celebrate her 100th birthday. Jason Fewin said her story inspires people who think they are too old to start new things.
