Joan Jakel shares her creations from video 1 and 2 of Beyond the Basics.

Joan says about herself… I am an entrepreneur at heart which has manifested in the roles of business attorney, artist and author. I am the mother of 2 furry pets. I am an avid yoga practitioner. I am most alive running mountain trails. I am a great cook. I am a good friend striving to be an outstanding friend. I am a lover of wines and world travel. I am excited to be on this journey and enjoy the unfolding of the gift of life. I am an adventurer and have decided to live the life that truly moves me, not the one that has defined me. My greatest pleasure in life is empowering people to follow their dreams and turn them into realities. I live in paradise and wake up in gratitude every day savoring the beauty of my surroundings in Napa, California. Carpe Diem!

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!
