“True forgiveness is when you can say, Thank you for that experience.

~Oprah Winfrey

We all have our trials, hurts, broken places and disappointments.  It’s what we do with them and how we use them to grow, to learn and gain wisdom that matters.  It takes time to work through our emotions but when we can get to a place of thankfulness for what those times have taught us, it’s a beautiful thing.

Enjoy your Sunday Inspiration video.

Hello there! I’m Shawn Petite

I’ve been teaching and creating for well over 25 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. I believe—no, I know—you are worthy of love, and I want to teach you to know that about yourself. Join me on this journey of art and inspiration!
