“Within you there is a stillness and sanctuary to which you can retreat at anytime and be yourself.”

 Hermann Hesse

I hope you can find the stillness and your sanctuary to be yourself, to accept you just the way you are. Find the place that allows you to say beautiful things to yourself.

We would never talk the way we talk to ourselves, to someone else. So don’t talk that way to yourself.

You are beautiful just as you are right where you are.

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!
