Catapult Art Academy

CATAPULT Academy in Richmond, TX, was founded by Carmen Flores, a visual artist and mother, during the pandemic. Originally from Mexico, Carmen holds a BFA in Painting and an MFA from the Savannah College of Art and Design. Since moving to Texas in 2010, she has spent over a decade privately instructing art to students of all ages. Her mission is to empower students of all ages to succeed through creativity.

CATAPULT Academy offers thoughtfully curated classes in fine arts, exploring techniques in drawing, painting, sculpture, and mixed media. They provide a robust curriculum of different techniques: acrylics, watercolor, soft pastels, oil pastels, mixed media, basics of sculpture (modeling), charcoal, color pencils, ink, and introduction to printmaking. Classes are available for kids, teens, and adults, with a focus on fostering a warm and supportive environment.

Unlike franchise art experiences, CATAPULT Academy provides personalized mentorship in a nurturing environment. The academy's dual goal curriculum for kids combines art skills with leadership qualities. Whether you're a beginner, intermediate, or advanced artist, CATAPULT Academy creates a tailored program to match your current skills.
