Let me tell you, I really fought with this project. I started it, got close to the end, then scrapped it, then started over. Then halfway through my second shot, I messed up the background. Luckily, all that did was add more texture under the layers. At the end, I really enjoy how the project turned out. 

The substrate I am working on today is a decorative sign I found on clearance at Hobby Lobby. It cost about $1.75, so I bought 3 or 4 of them to upcycle. I also found some cool magnets to upcycle for $.75! I really love these clearance sections. You can find the most awesome things!

I hope you enjoy the process!

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!
