Our
Story
Perhaps it was kismet?
Our journey started with a shared dream of owning our own art studio, a place where we could invite others to freely express their creativity. With determination, hard work, and a lot of coffee, we are turning that dream into a reality.
The vision...
We are a Latina-owned art studio located in Bristol, CT. We believe that art is not just about the final product, but also about the experience of creating it. That's why we are creating a welcoming and inclusive space where everyone can feel comfortable and inspired. Our studio is not just a place to create art, it's a community where friends and family can connect, collaborate, and make memories together.
What can we look forward to?
Our passion for creativity drives us to create unique and meaningful projects that inspire others. We're committed to delivering the highest quality of service and making sure that every customer leaves our studio feeling satisfied and inspired.
