I’ve loved trees for as long as I can remember and green has always been a favorite color.  Since it is so close to Christmas I wanted to use the “Trees” stencil for my next project.  As I started to stencil all the trees onto the old book paper I was thinking of Christmas and what it means to me.  Jesus is the ultimate gift of God to us and speaks of such LOVE.  I love to reuse things to create on so why not the bottom of a drawer

Enjoy the Video!

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!
