I had planned to do an entirely different church project. I’ve had it planned for a couple of weeks.

But as I prepped for it. It didn’t feel genuine, it didn’t feel like what was going on inside me.

So I decided to trust myself, and go with my gut. And I’m glad I did.

This safe space called our creative time is so important to who we are are. It allows us to process, be real and so many other things.

I’ll share more about it in the video. I hope you enjoy this project with its yummy plaster look texture and layers!

Have a great Sunday and always know that YOU are loved!

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!
