Plain and simple — we are better together 

  I love little houses and these are so easy to make with an old piece of 2×4 (and your husband’s chop saw).  Little houses all in a cluster remind me of togetherness and how we are made for each other.  We can each be unique and celebrate how each one is created differently.  We can so add to each other in so many ways.  May we all “Love our neighbors” and “Be kind to one another” 

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!
