What a great combination… texture and Neocolors 2!

The neocolors sink in around all the groove created by the stencil and palette knife to add great interest and depth to this page.

And even though there is a lot on this page, to me, it still feels peaceful… I think that’s what our journal pages are for, to speak the messages that our soul needs!

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!
