Beautiful stuff

We are constantly and quietly being filled. The Trick is , knowing how to tip ourselves over and let the beautiful stuff out. ~ Ray Bradbury

I needed this quote this week. I needed to take a pause and look around at all the beauty in my life that fills me up daily. The love of my kids, the love from my husband who supports my dreams. The love and grace of my creator. A roof over my head, food on the table.

I needed to remember all the good stuff so that I can share it.. use it .. So that I can share beauty and love. So that I can inspire and encourage.

I hope you take a pause today to realize and be grateful for all the beauty so that you can spill it out too.

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!
