I am in love with this piece. Maybe it’s because it is so Me. Perfectly imperfect. All the rough edges…. It just represents life.

Enjoy the video!

Supplies Used:

7×5 mdf board,

book pages, scrap paper, butterfly print, old key

modeling paste,

gesso, acrylic paints, glazing medium,

charcoal pencil, black pastel stick, krylon fixatif

Oh, how amazing you are…. perfectly imperfect! I love that we all have our stories, quirks and craziness. It makes life interesting. Learning to just be…. to just be yourself is a life long practice. Some days are good and some days are not so good, but it’s about the journey and what we are learning about ourselves along the way. If you could see yourself through the eyes of others, you would be amazed at how fabulous you really are.

Today, I want you to tell yourself that you are amazing! That you are beautiful. That you are worthy of great things. That you are strong. That you are smart. That you are creative. Tell yourself the wonderful truth and stop trying to be perfect and just be you!

Be inspired, create…. love yourself just the way you are, 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!
