When I pulled the green paper with fluer de lis… I though what am I going to do with this… but it was a great starting point for this… and the purple and the green go really well together. Then the interference paint really makes it shine… (literally)

January has been a hard month for alot of people. There are many things that contribute to that… and I myself am struggling to stay motivated… This quote has been popping into my head… when I’ve had to face some difficult stuff… I just keep telling myself “this is the great adventure” … it’s all part of the journey.

Enjoy the video

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!
