Quiet time and a mixed media journal page 12-8-24

Today I’m giving myself a time out….

Our journals are the best place to quiet our hearts and minds and take some time to think about the season we’re in. To find joy, hope or peace.

To process, to celebrate, to find meaning and understanding. And that is exactly what I did today. It had been a hectic couple of weeks and I needed to just play. I turned on my favorite music, shut out the world and created.

It gave me such joy and such a release from everything! It didn’t matter what I did, or what it would look like. Or even if it made sense. It was just me finding some meaning in this season of winter and the busyness all around me.

At the end of my journal time, I said a prayer of gratitude for my time spent creating. It was just what my soul needed.

I hope you get the chance to do that and I hope you enjoy the process. Have fun watching 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!
