Earlier this year, an open call went out and received over 500 entries from people who'd come to their creative practice later in life, whether after raising a family, after a completely different career, or simply once time finally allowed it. Five artists were shortlisted from those entries, and across this series, host Jo McLaughlin sits down with each of them to hear their story in their own words.Their work will be shown as part of Born To, an exhibition at British Art Fair, running 24 to 27 September 2026 at Saatchi Gallery, London, alongside a selection of established modern and contemporary British artists.Each episode also features a special sponsored segment with Maike Currie, VP of Personal Finance at PensionBee, as part of their Born to Retire campaign, helping demystify pensions along the way.New episodes drop weekly, so follow or subscribe to Jo's Art History Podcast to catch every conversation.In this series:Five artists.
