Fully feeling the January blues.. I needed to find some joy… while I was running errands, I said a little prayer and then decided to take a drive to search out beauty, joy and gratitude… and I found it!…. right around the corner. I was driving down my favorite street and there was this barn in a field. There was a light dusting of snow. It made me smile and I love that spot in every season. I drove by that spot a couple of time to take in all the joy it gave me.

I thanked God for the moment and continued on to find more beauty….. When I got home, I knew I had to paint it…

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!
