A MARTINEZ, HOST:

Good morning. I'm A Martinez. At the age of 87, Nada Rudan discovered a new skill - painting. To celebrate her 100th birthday last summer, Rudan held an exhibition of her artwork, mostly paintings of nature.

She told Reuters, I am still in good health. My hands are stable. My eyes serve me well. It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.
