I wanted to share today the Valentines day pieces I made for my grandaughters. These were super simple to make and yet still had lots of texture and interest.

I love using gesso for a quick grungy background and when you combine it with High flow acrylics all the texture shows up so beautifully!

It was a crazy week and I was sick, so these were perfect to help me get a little happy in the day!

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!
