Elderescence with Sarnia de la Maré FRSA

Elderescence is a visual and written project exploring creativity, ageing well, and self-confidence built from within.This space brings together reflective drawing, digital mark-making, fashion studies, and quiet visual essays — alongside themes of fitness, beauty, and style as acts of self-trust rather than correction.The work is slow, intentional, and human. Less about perfection. More about presence.Elderescence is concerned with:

• Creative longevity
• Ageing without erasure
• Fashion as identity, not trend
• Fitness as energy, not punishment
• Beauty as expression, not compliance
• Reinvention after change

This work is part of a wider ecosystem that includes podcasts, essays, publishing, and long-form projects — but here, the focus is visual thinking: ideas, bodies, posture, fabric, gesture, and tone.

This is not aspirational lifestyle imagery. It is lived confidence.
