Oh, the layers in this piece! I started with no idea where I was going. My only inspiration was from a new book that I got from Morgan Harper Nichols – All Along You Were Blooming.

If you don’t have this book…it is just an inspiration all the way around! – The art and the words move me every time I turn the page.

The quote from Morgan spoke to me deep down and went along with my word for the year.

“Even though you have learned the skill of running on empty, now is the time to learn the art of breathing deep all over again, letting no one make you feel that you cannot show up with the truth of where you are.” MHN

The thought of showing up with the truth of where you are in relationships, with yourself, with your creativity…. Allowing yourself permission to take the mask off and be who you are. There is so much freedom and yet so much fear.

The layers in this piece represent my truth and I share all about it and the process in the video.

I hope you enjoy it and always know that you are loved!

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!
