This is a studio founded on Art Creation. We define Art as the expression of human creativity and invention through various media and unlimited form.

Art is what comes from the biological curiosity of human nature and desire for self-expression, the drive to discover and learn. Every human is born with this, and every human can use it, no matter the age, training or skill level of the individual. We are here to facilitate that biological creative spark in an environment where it can bud and grow into something wonderful.
