What do you need to ask yourself, listen to the whispers of your heart

There’s an art to listening, to quiet the mind, to hear the whispers, to hear the calling, to hear the lessons.

I know that I busy myself when I don’t want to listen, when I know there’s work to be done. I try every week to stop and breathe and listen. To hold myself accountable to the work of my soul. To take a look at hard things, like forgiveness for myself and others and risky love and even more risky vulnerability and being open.

What do you need to ask yourself, can you hear the whispers? Where do you need to do the work or where do you need to rest? My friend it is always good to examine ourselves so that we have more to give, more love, more creativity, more compassion.

Listen to your heart today!

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!
