In this project, I was inspired by my Flower Garden. I love daisies and Coneflowers.

Products were items that I had in my stash and the Wow Mixed Media embossing liquid with a brush I received when I was in a workshop given by Seth Apter at Creativation in January.

The idea for the piece was mainly inspired by a large lawn ornament I saw on a motorcycle ride last week of a rusty flower. I also loved using my new soft pastels that Shawn has used over and over again in her work, I call them my new box of yummy chocolates. Love Them!!!

Enjoy the video!!

Shawn’s Stencils:

Daisy 1, Daisy 2, and my new love Background Words

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!
