I started with the worst papers I could find, because I knew I was going to throw a lot of paint down. But I also chose paint that would compliment the orange.

I just got some Lukas paint and had not played with it yet so I thought this was a perfect time. I REALLY LIKE IT! For the money and for the quality. I’m using the medium body paints. Next I will play with there liquid acrylics and share that with you.

I reached into my box of scraps and just pulled out a handful of things and this is what I got and It all worked and gave me a wonderful start for my journaling and being free. I love it when that magic happens.

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!
