Louise Nevelson
Louise Nevelson’s talent and creative distinction is undeniable. She is considered one of the most important American sculptors of the twentieth century.

Though she exhibited work for decades, she didn’t achieve her signature style (and financial stability) until her late 40s, and her reputation didn’t really take off until her 60s. She was also a mother, and struggled with the opposing forces of cultural expectations of motherhood and fully pursuing her creative ambitions and personal potential.
