On Other Art Forms and Creativity

 

    The other day Katie Moran ( a writer) tweeted what other art forms writers enjoy. Good question. I replied that I enjoy music.

    Not that I am musical. There are a few poems about that. But I love music of all types. Often I write to it, especially string music.

    I also enjoy paintings, but I definitely would never try to create one.

    All I do is write. Poetry and literary fiction: one novel, some short stories. 

    But I admire artists who do one or more art forms well, or who try to. Let me tell you about two of them. One is a long-term friend, the other newer.

    Carol Worthington-Levy played guitar, sings in choirs that do serious music, and creates amazing artwork like my book covers. Check out https://worthingtonfineart.com/

    Aurore Sibley writes poetry and prose, writes and performs her own songs, https://www.auroresibley.com/

   I am in awe of these artists and admire anyone who creates in more than one artistic field.
