Beeswax Collage by

Nicole Austin

I love the smell of beeswax! I love anything that adds to an artwork that enables us to use as many of our 5 senses as possible (besides sight!) to experience artwork. In this case, I’ve used three: sight, touch and (my favorite) smell! Beeswax is such a fun medium to use to create collage and add 3D items to your canvas. I also love working with wood panels because they are so durable and provide a solid surface to work on.

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!
