“True”

This piece came together from my journey the past few months of the blahs and the point where I started telling myself what was true. It’s so easy to believe the lies about ourselves and our situation. But the truth is harder to find.

The truth is YOU are amazing, smart, beautiful, creative, strong and funny. YOU are strong enough to get through what ever is thrown at you, YOU can do great things, YOU can love, YOU can forgive and heal… Oh the beautiful truths.

Now take it all in, breathe in the truth, feel it and believe it. Walk into the truth and share it with others. YOU are loved!

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!
