Grow in Grace journal page

I brought out the stamps today! I got some new ones and wanted to try them out. Oh boy, do I have lots of ideas for the future.

The colors are just fabulous and I love how I can water down the fluid acrylics and get a watercolor affect.

Every day I ask for more grace, so that I can give it freely, Not always easy and I don’t do it enough. But this life is a work in progress. I used the eucalyptus branch stencil because it represents growth to me.

I hope you 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!
