~When you set out on a journey and night covers the road, you don’t conclude that the road has vanished, you keep walking by faith,

Because that is how we discover the stars.~

The paths not easy in some seasons of our life, but when darkness comes… the path is still there.

That’s when we have to rely on our courage muscles to lead, we have to rely on our faith, our belief that we will once again see the beautiful sun.

 But just remember, that the dark is the only time we can see the stars. There is treasure in the dark. The kind of treasure that builds our character, that teaches, that shows us something new about ourselves.

My love, let the dark times reveal the stars, let the lessons come

The darkness is never easy and our minds can run wild with fear, but keep walking with faith. YOU WILL see the morning.

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!
