Who Am I
Hello. I'd like to introduce myself and tell you why I write this series of on-beat and off-beat columns. I'm an artist/painter, traveller, lifespan developmental psychologist, and published writer who is interested in ideas, world culture, and human interaction.
Most of the time, my home and working studio are on Saturna Island: a tiny stretch of land in Canada's Salish Sea ... waters that connect with the San Juan Islands off Washington State . My life and work here leave me inspired and productive, but somewhat isolated. So, meaningful communication becomes even more important now than in the many world cities in which I've lived and worked.
Why I Write Creative Life News?
I write the Creative Life news because life is short and living it creatively has value.
I like writing and sharing interests with some wit, intelligence, and good humour. Because I enjoy living and working in different parts of the world, exploring and learning from local cultures,
Creative Life travels to different places of interest. Because I now live and work on a small and relatively remote island, I want to connect with the wider world... and you!

What Creative Life News is About
The illustrated posts in Creative Life News are diverse and wide-ranging. Artistic Adventures are featured: such as exploring quaint villages in France and Italy—a painter's dream. Cultural life and artistic traditions are explored around around the globe. Eclectic interests and ideas,, foods, personal experiences, odd museums, sights and insights are distilled with some wit and good humour.
Written from a personal and sometimes witty perspective, Creative Life posts still offer a fairly wide scope on issues. Affirmation of this is best shown by a peak some posts :
