I love this piece…. It tells the story of what I wrote in the bit of text that I placed in the background. Each element tells the story, I will share that with you in the video.

What’s your story? and where do you want to go?

As we enter into 2018. Do you need a reminder that Nothing can stop you, if you plan and put your mind to it?

When we live on purpose, with purpose…. we are unstoppable!

enjoy the video

Hello there! I’m Shawn Petite

I’ve been teaching and creating for well over 25 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. I believe—no, I know—you are worthy of love, and I want to teach you to know that about yourself. Join me on this journey of art and inspiration!
