I love it when things come together for a project with serendipity. I read Morgan Harper Nichols’s poem this week during my quiet time and journaled about it. I kept thinking about it and what it meant to me.

Then as I was thinking about what I would create for Sunday, I started cleaning up the mess on my table and found a whole stack of collage papers that looked like they would all go together, I must have pulled them for something else a while ago, but they were soft, beautiful and thought-provoking.

It was then that I put the two things together. These papers and my journaling time. It was a message for me.

Morgan Harper Nichols writes in her book “All along you were blooming”

“And she knows in her soul when it comes to her worth. It does not make her weak, for needing to be reminded of this truth: This is all part of being guided, Right where she needs to be, being lifted to the light, that her heart forever needs.”

I’ll share more about the project and the meaning. I hope you enjoy the process and I pray that you are lifted to the light and that you 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!
