Trying to find the beauty in the Season ~

It’s only January and I’m so tired of the cold, the wintery grey skies.. snow drifts and wind chill…. I feel like I could go on and on… but I realized that I need to find the beauty in this cold season…. There really is a lot of beauty if I just take the time to appreciate it… and there is hope that spring is coming!

I used Golden High flow acrylics and I just love them and will be getting more! There is so much shimmering, sparkly goodness this page just glows!

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!
