Did a little print making this week…. but not in the usual way…. I’m always trying a different approach to regular painting techniques. So I took some pics of the process.

Below is  my 12×12 quilting square that i put paint on with the brayer and then created some pattern in the paint with random items. and then laid my sheets of paper on top

Next i tried clay….. this was fun!  I used model magic and stamped in some pattern. painted. I sprayed the clay with watter to wipe of the paint and then rekneeded it for new patterns. I store this is a zip lock bag.

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!
