My journey to becoming a teacher at PPAC is one of a lifetime. It is wrapped up with my life as an artist, and key parts of my sense of self. -Austin

I am so happy to teach classes at Pikes Peak Artists Collective. The historic art district and along with the welcoming, lovely studio combine to provide a wonderful environment for learning and creating.

20 years ago I started Studio 101 out of my home. It out-grew our home and onto the avenue, becoming a very strong entity in the Old Colorado City business district.

I feel so fortunate to live in Colorado Springs. The beauty of the landscape and its community makes it a wonderful place to be inspired, to create and to feel a part of a place.
