Today’s project brings a few inspirations together.

I was so inspired by last weeks project that I started planning a series. And then I got my new Ephemera Encylopedia from Uppercase and fell in love with all the artist and how they work with paper.

So…. I decided to combine them for today’s adventure.

I’ll share in the video more about merging the inspiration and how it takes courage to try new things, and knowing what you love. And how it helps us get comfortable in our own skin.

So that we can be our true selves. I hope you enjoy the project. 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!
