One of my favorite ways to get my hands messy is creating art that inspires! I am on the constant look out all things inspirational and recently discovered artist Shawn Petite. Shawn inspires me. Her art inspires me. I love her techniques and the genuineness that flows from her work. When I discovered that she offers online mixed medium classes, I raced to my computer. I thoroughly enjoyed her style, the simple yet highly effective techniques and I was able to further refine my artistic style. I thought I’d share one of my projects with you so you could enjoy the unfolding.
I started with a blank 8×8 canvas.
Then I started to add some stamps.
And then I started to drip some paint
I decided to add a focal point of a yellow heart I cut out of textured paper.
Time to add one of my favorite inspiring objects – a butterfly. I love the concept of a metamorphosis and the butterfly symbolizes growth, change, beauty and the full blossoming of life after struggle.
Time to add paint.
And some more paint and paper.
Time to add a flower.
Giving the flower some form
And a bit more detail
And I finally arrived at a place where my heart said, “Stop.” From my heart to yours: Shine, my friends, shine!
My entire life has been in the pursuit of what stirs my heart, daring to follow it and having the unstoppable conviction to achieve it. Purpose, passion and values aligned to create my path while audacity nudged my courage to help me excel at taking on big change to go after it.
I am here to help you find your way and learn how to confidently use your authentic voice, unlock your potential and courageously build a purposeful life you love!
Carpe Diem!
