Embrace your Imperfections….. Mixed media and vintage wallpaper

When we take the time to know ourselves… our souls and gifts and our imperfections, we can let go of some things and get comfortable in our skin. There’s something amazing about a person who is comfortable with themselves. … Our quicks and issues can be good or can cause us to struggle, so when we’re gentle with ourselves in grace and love dealing with our inner worlds we can grow and adjust, we can recognize when we need to shift our thinking.

I hope that you are gentle with yourself today….

enjoy your Sunday inspiration video

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!
