The last thought………..  been doing alot of thinking this week on letting go…. and how much courage that takes….. to do something for someone, to give your money, to love openly, to trust and not knowing what will come back…. what the return is, if there is any….loving for the sake of loving…..doing the things to make a business grow, really never knowing if things will work…..

Letting go of the outcome….. it soo so scary…..being true to what’s calling you, obedient and faithful…. and then letting God take care of everything else…..It’s hard to not want to control…. but I have been reminding myself all week that He is in charge of the outcome….

I don’t talk about my faith walk much in this space, we are all on our own journey. But this has swirling around in my head all week, so I had to share….I hope that you can let go of some things…. be true… be faithful…. be inspired….. and know that you are loved!

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!
