I purchased a 60 set of Arteza acrylic paints and wanted to try them out on this project. I was pleasantly surprised with the quality compared to the price, so I will be getting more!

I also share how I work through fear every day, how I calm my anxiety and have grown my courage muscles. We can still be afraid, hesitant and unsure and walk forward through the fear and create the art, life, and relationships we want. Sometimes you just have to do it afraid!

Enjoy the video

12×12 mdf board, fluid matte medium, vintage papers, soft black pastel

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!
