I did a video a couple of weeks ago show how I create a collage master sheet and how fun it is and can get us creating without perfection.

So many asked after that video for me to show what I would do with that master sheet. So I did! I’ll even show you how I mount it on a wood panel.

A collage sheet it the perfect way to start… you’ve already broken that scary blank page or canvas. And it just take a few small marks, contrast and a bit of color to make an amazing abstract piece of art.

I hope you give it a try, 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 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!
