The Co-Co Connection: Artist’s Talk and Reception featuring Gail Winbury

The Co-Co is hosting an Artist’s Talk and Reception featuring Gail Winbury. Join us to meet Gail, experience her art, and learn from her inspiring journey of life and career.

In midlife, Gail Winbury drastically altered her life. She went from a career as a full-time psychologist with a private practice, to becoming a full-time artist. Using her art as illustration, Gail will discuss the roots and reasons for this change. She will demonstrate how psychology informs her practice as an artist. The talk will explore the gains, losses and challenges inherent for a woman switching careers at this time in life. Lastly, Gail will touch upon how a mid-life second career can impact life style and thoughts/plans for retirement in this reception.
