Art instructor Jessica Padgett opened her art studio, Round Rock Art Classes, near the banks of Brushy Creek in early September.

Her business relocated to the Creekside Plaza retail center from its former location in Cedar Park.

About the owner

Padgett said she invites potential students with all levels of skill to her studio for art classes.

"I know people are always nervous to start," Padgett said. "People say, 'I can only draw a stick figure.' That is absolutely fine. I love that. The beginning is the best place to start."


About the business

Round Rock Art Classes offers classes in a variety of mediums, including pencil, pen and ink, colored pencil, graphite, acrylic paint, oil paint, sculpture, crochet and others. Lessons are available to students age four and up, Padgett said.

Students will also have the opportunity to take art classes outdoors in the nearby park and trail along Brushy Creek, which abuts the retail center.
