Creative Column – Introduction

Greetings all, your friendly neighbourhood journalist Sebastian here. I am excited to start the ‘Creative Corner’, a page dedicated to celebrating all the culture the community has to offer. I would like to feature poetry, creative profiles, news and anything outside the box that may fit on this page.

Creativity has always been an incredibly important part of my life. I have composed music, drafted comic books, directed films, written poetry and completed short stories. I think creativity, arts and culture are essential to any thriving community.  Creative expression is not just a hobby or source of entertainment; it is human necessity.

Since the beginning of time we have told stories, done illustrations and performed music with one another. Many great people from history saw a creative outlet essential to complimenting their main area of success. German physicist Albert Einstein loved playing violin and piano, citing music as a driving force behind his work.  Former New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern plays a variety of instruments and was even a DJ before her time in office.

Growing up in Melbourne, I was privileged to be surrounded by culture. Having come to Whitsundays, I can already see the great work that’s being done across different groups and organisations.

I would really like to foster creative community. Especially for youth culture. If you are reading this and think ‘I may have an idea’, don’t hesitate to get in touch. My email is sebastian@lifepublishinggroup.com and I am always open to suggestions and ideas.

I can’t wait to see how the ‘Creative Corner’ will evolve!!
