I grabbed a pile of papers from the drawer I have neglected for a long time and this is what I came up with. There were a couple of pieces of paper that I didn’t use, and a couple of them were magazine pages. I loved the tiles and that’s what I worked from to create a grungy wall.

Creativity like Happiness is not a destination it’s a journey. We learn and grow everyday, make sure to enjoy the journey.

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!
