We had such a beautiful fall day, and I knew that I needed to go out and fill my lungs with some fresh air. Take some art supplies and just relax.

I needed to clear my head and have some quiet time. I also wanted this space to pray.

There is so much going on in our country and devastation with hurricanes. I wanted to take some time to pray for our nation, for those affected by this weather and to remember how much I have to be grateful for.

I share my journey, my story and the sweet little spot by a river that always inspires me.

Enjoy the video 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!
