Creative Type.
Welcome to Creative Type, my website and creative base. It’s the place where I share my art in all its various forms.
Why this title for the site? Because “creative type” sums up who and what I am! You will see that I am not a one-genre artist:
- I am an award-winning poet who takes inspiration from the beauty I photograph in my everyday world. So if you’re looking for more beauty in your everyday life, you can find some in my Poetry Art Gallery and my Poetry Art chapbooks. Want even more beauty? You can learn about how to create your own back yard paradise in my Gardening Advice articles.
- I am the author of two acclaimed non-fiction history books. So if you like to learn about the past via the life stories of extraordinary people, have a look at Muskoka’s Main Street and The Granger Chronicles.
- I write articles about how artists create art. So if you’re curious about what goes on behind the books you read and the art you love, check out The Creative Process Unmasked and Author Interviews.
This site is also home to my blog and also my shop, where you can buy my books and artwork.
