If we don’t rest…. our bodies will take the rest without our permission. I am a bit of a work a holic, I’m not proud of this and am continually working on pausing to enjoy the little things, but with projects and shows… I just kept pushing this week until …. my body said no more ….. and the flu sent me to bed…. I would get up after a nap and think, I can get back to work… and after a few minutes…. nope… the body said get back in bed!
I know I’m not the only one super busy…. it’s the world we live in…  Please take care of yourself and your soul!……

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!
