Rooted in Peace

Peace can mean many things…. Peace for me is not a rah, rah cheerleader kind of happiness…. it a calm, underlying feeling that no matter what happens, no matter what season of my life I am in…. that I know myself enough to know that I am strong and can get through anything…. It doesn’t mean that I am necessarily happy about the particular season or situation but that my strength muscles will carry me through. This piece is calming to me… the neutral palette says peace to me. I hope today you can be peaceful in whatever season you are in.

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!
