Artist Gang Tuesday is sweet!

This last week I got a message from Frea she has a blog called “Messy Mixed Media projects by Frea”. She watched my Sunday Inspiration video 5-25-15 “Every flower grows through dirt” and let me know that she created her own amazing work of art inspired from the video…. I love when you share your work, plus I get to show you off! Stop by Frea’s blog and check out this and all her other work!

I shared in the Sunday Inspiration video that Mothers and Fathers Day is always weird for me. I don’t have parents to celebrate or Grandparents…. I celebrate my husband on fathers day, but …. not quite the same as remembering family…. I lost my mom when I was 15 to cancer and lived on my own until I was married. I found my father when I was 36 but we still don’t have a relationship. I know that my story is probably not different from alot of you, but I do want to say… that although there might be family problems, or no parents or whatever your circumstance…. there is always something and someone to be grateful for. Think back to someone who helped you on your journey or is still part of your journey. Celebrate that! celebrate them! I had a few people come into my world for just a moment to encourage me, and then, I have had those who have stayed to be part of my journey forever…. both I am so grateful for! Both were and are important to my growth! No one does it alone…..

I am so grateful for you, thank you for sharing the journey with me….

Be grateful, 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!
