This piece gave me a run for my money… I had all kinds of mishaps… but I persevered and love how it turned out.

I started with a clear meaning and message for this piece and I love how I created texture with just gesso. I played with high flow acrylics and acrylic inks, but the most fun was playing with my new Lukas paints.

I made this with my mama heart… and I share about the seasons in our life, good or bad, how they can teach us something new.

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!
