This has all the feel good feels for me. All my favorite things and colors! Even though the color palette is simple, sometimes simple says more. I also just love the vintage butterfly.

The message is clear too… I want to encourage you to not wait for someday to begin. Start today to make the changes, take the steps, lose the weight, open the business, find love or whatever it is you have been putting off for someday. There will never be a perfect moment to start, so just start.

I’m a planner and a person who loves checklists, but sometimes you just have to go with your gut and to heck with the plan. The plan can come later after we have taken the first step.

So my love…. just begin, don’t wait another day!

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!
