full spread layout
Hello art friends! Today I’m sharing an art journal layout in my 8 1/4″ x 8 1/4″
Arteza art journal.  After I finished the layout I started thinking about
what was going on in my life that week.
Lots of work drama and sometimes my first response is an emotional one and not always the best response.  But as I have gotten older and started a journey of trying to
understand myself better I have learned to remind myself to take a deep breath and consider how my thoughts are affecting what happens.
I  reminded myself that in the particular situation that week, I needed to “adjust my thoughts”. This layout has a lot of layers in the background.  I used 7 stencils and 1 collage pack. I hope you’re inspired!
Big Hugs from Texas!  Melisa

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!
