Today’s journal page was a chance to follow my joy and my inspiration.

I was planning something else but I was going through my new(ish) volume of Feeling Free by LeAnne Ford. Every. Single. Time. I pick up this magazine .. all the issues I have, I turn the pages slowly and then go back to the beginning and start again…

In this issue, Shoji Hamada was featured and a couple of quotes from him spoke to me among other things.

I share all the inspiration that came today and my thoughts through my journal page in the video.

Enjoy the journey to joy today…. 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!
