Today I wanted to make something for YOU and for all those that are serving us in so many ways while we are home.

I created this with some wonderful vintage wallpapers (new to the shop) and some yummy colors. I also share how I make quick collage papers that I used for the hearts, so that I could get just the right colors.

I share in the video how grateful I am to you, for being part of my community and so lovingly sharing this crazy journey called life.

This print is free to you and I also made some small cards to give away to those that are working so hard in the medical field, grocery store and delivery workers. You can download them in the resource library and share the love.

I hope you enjoy the video and know how important you are!

Supplies used: 8×10 mdf board, Liquitex matte medium, Deco art Americana paints (cobblestone, avocado, celery green, cactus flower) Golden fluid acrylic (quinacridone magenta), Lukas acrylic (beige, yellow ocher, Karmin red, raw umber) black acrylic paint, brayer, Soho soft pastel, Generals charcoal pencil

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!
