Shawn Olson Creative Arts - Art, Poetry, Photography

Welcome to Shawn Olson Creative Arts, based in Columbus, Ohio. This site was the original home of the Artistic Network; it is dedicated to creative interests ranging from art and photography to poetry and journalism. My name is Shawn Olson, a former photojournalist for the Columbus Messenger Newspapers and the creator of Webonizer. Sharing creative interests and promoting creativity is the goal of this site.

This site is a community of artists, writers and creative designers who are close to Shawn Olson. Most of the art and writing on this site is by Shawn Olson, though there are some other active contributors. This site was formerly open to new member, but I have closed new membership except by personal invitation. I do, however, have a brand new Global Artistic Network for any creative artist or arts-related organization.

Please contact Shawn Olson via email with any questions or comments about this site.
