I had planned to do something different today and was planning on finding inspiration in a different way. But mother nature said differently.

So as I was doing my daily journaling… I got an idea and some words for this piece.

I did some experimenting and suddenly I had new ideas and new excitement to create.

The texture and the meaning just make me smile…. I’ll share all about it and the journey to this project in the video.

Have a creative 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!
