Exploring Artistic Journeys: Carolee Owen
In this episode of the Open Forum in The Villages, Florida podcast, host Mike Roth delves into the rich artistic journey of Carolee Owen. Starting with her early days in Baltimore, where her drawing talent set her apart, Carolee shares her evolution from an illustrator to a writer. She discusses her first published book, 'Murder in the Haunted House,' and its unique aspect as an in-home play, along with her two children's books. Carolee reflects on joining the Writers for Kids group, which significantly honed her writing skills. She also talks about her passion for creating illustrations for her own and others' books, her experiences in writing and conducting improvised murder mystery plays, and her new project, 'Sock's Summer Vacation.' The conversation reveals Carolee’s creative process, her advice for writers, and her diverse hobbies. The episode wraps up with insights on the impact of social media on children's behavior and Carolee’s future writing aspirations.
