Is there an age limit to starting a direct art business?

Absolutely not. You can start in your seventies or eighties and still build a valuable asset. People are living longer, and a well-built direct business—with an owned customer base and distribution channels—is something you can even pass on to family or sell. Age is no barrier; what matters is that you start building on the right foundation.
