Have I ever told you I love paper and collage! LOL…

The process of layering papers and watching it come together is so soothing to me.

I also love creating my own collage papers.

I knew I wanted specific colors and after going through my stash and not finding the right ones… I printed out some wonderful vintage papers and went to town.

The inspiration for today’s piece came as a surprise, when I least expected it the words and the meaning came pouring out.

I’ll tell you all about it in the video.

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!
