This one ran away with itself… Gold leaf? Crash the Stash

I really had no plan for this…. In fact I didn’t use all that I pulled from the stash.

I love that feeling when your creating and your piece start to take on a life of its own. There’s a giddy feeling I get in my gut, knowing that it’s gonna be good.

That’s what happened in today’s Crash the Stash

Enjoy the video

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!
