Healing in the broken places, a journey of support and love.
Never-been-broken-6-x-8-print-web

 

Perhaps strength doesn’t reside in having never been broken..

But in the courage required to grow, in the broken places.

It is the broken places, that have taught me about myself.

Taught me how strong and weak I am, how vulnerable and closed I have been.

 I bend with all that comes at me, but then there are times that I break…. shatter… and I’m left scrambling to pick up the pieces.

I’m left breathless with only my thoughts and hurt.

Can I break open, so that I can learn and not be angry?

I can…. and I have…. and I learn. I catch my breath. I share my struggle. I reach out and attempt to love the other broken souls around me.

I will walk with you, we will walk together, broken, mending and mended.

Sharing, loving, healing, laughing.

Hello there! I’m Shawn Petite

I’ve been teaching and creating for well over 30 years. About 15 years ago I found my art soul mate in mixed media, and it changed my life! I love the story that can be told by combining paint, texture, ink, paper and—really anything that you can imagine.

But what I’m truly passionate about is being your guide, walking with you step by step and helping you become your own hero in your creative journey.

Along my path, I’ve learned that the creating art also creates a healing space. Life can be messy and complicated and painful, but something about a paint brush can help heal your soul.

Join me on this journey of art and inspiration!
