Shawn Olson Profile

My Images

Art was always around me growing up. My father Donald Olson is a multi-talented wildlife artist whose skills and insight have greatly influenced me over the years. My other great influences have been John Dewey, Thomas Jefferson, Carl Sagan, Bruce Lee and Michael Jordan.

I've spent most of my adult life working as a freelance writer, photographer and web developer. I spent three years as a staff writer for the Columbus Messenger Newspapers.

When I try to describe myself, phrases like "jack-of-all-trades" and "inquisitive" come to mind. Trying to learn something creative and new everyday is one of my little quirks... as is trying to teach something to others.

I am the father of four kids (with a fifth expected in July, 2007). My professional experience includes journalism, photography, web design, graphic design and web programming. I am the owner of the Artistic Network and creator of Webonizer.

While I do consider myself to be artistic, my technical art skills pale in comparison to most of the artists on the Artistic Network. Still, I strive to improve my abilities at artistic expression.

If asked what my most important characteristics are, my answer would be as follows: I am very diverse in interest and understanding, and I have a well-refined ability to bring together seemingly unconnected fields to find solutions and innovations. I am naturally skeptical, analytical and inquisitive.

My mission in life is to to learn as much as I can in the time I have; to raise warm and intelligent children; to leave something of value for this world that wasn't there before I came along.
