The vintage wallpaper and butterflies just speak to my soul. I’m loving this piece.

This week the snow melted and everything came alive. For a brief moment we had some beautiful weather and all celebrated, the birds, the ducks and geese. Everyone was out walking and it was our sign from above that spring is coming.

This was the inspiration behind this…. I thought about how winter can feel so isolating and grey and I know I have experienced winter many times even if it wasn’t the actual winter season.  Winter although hard and long… it’s an important part of our growth. If you’re in a winter season in your soul, take this time to rest, nourish your spirit, reflect and grow. It is vital to your well being and it prepares you for when the thaw happens and everything comes to life again.

Find your lessons in this time, but also remember…. spring is coming, there is hope and this (whatever your winter is) won’t last forever.

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!
