Art can tell our honest story – mixed media portrait 1-26-25

Today I’m redoing an old painting which was a great base for this portrait.

Today I needed to just create with my own journey in mind. And for me I know that I can say more with my art than I can with the words that come out of my mouth.

I love it when I get lost in the process and use this time to process the things happening around me or in me. It’s such a sacred space. This piece is really personal for me and I didn’t know what I needed to say until I found the words in a piece of collage paper. I love it when that happens!

I hope you enjoy the process 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!
