Founded in 2021 by Dr. Cora Bracho and Steve Leeds, CBArt Studios began as a mobile art studio and found its permanent home in Superior, Colorado, in November 2024. Today, we are a welcoming Studio-Gallery where art, creativity, learning, music, and community come together.
We offer creative experiences for all ages and skill levels, from weekly classes and after-school programs to homeschool enrichment, school-day-off camps, and special workshops. Our artistic offerings include drawing, painting, mixed media, sculpture, fused glass, stained glass, and much more. We also collaborate with local and visiting artists who bring fresh ideas, techniques, and creative perspectives to our community.
Our Studio-Gallery is also a place to celebrate! We host artsy birthday parties for children and adults, private gatherings, and creative team-building experiences, combining hands-on art activities with the inspiring atmosphere of a gallery filled with original artwork.
Art is also something we love to share. Our Gallery Wall showcases local, national, and international artists through exhibitions that change approximately every two months. On alternating second Fridays, we celebrate new exhibitions with free opening receptions featuring visual art and live music. On the other second Fridays, we collaborate with Les Catherines, a local band and longtime friend of CBArt, to host our free Open Mic Night, welcoming musicians and audiences from Superior and throughout the Boulder-Denver area. Both performing and attending are always free.
Whether you come to learn something new, explore your creativity, celebrate a special occasion, discover artists, or enjoy live music, we hope CBArt feels like your community art space—a place where everyone belongs, friendships grow, and creativity brings people together.
Come create, connect, and celebrate with us!
“I'm going to turn the garage into an art studio for kids.”
It all started with that simple idea.
After long careers in science—Cora in Chemistry and Materials Science and Steve in Geology—we were ready for a new adventure. Art had always been an important part of Cora's life, from her childhood in Caracas through 18 years in Paris and eventually to Colorado. She dreamed of sharing that passion with children, giving them a place to explore, experiment, get messy, and discover the joy of creating something with their own hands.
So we cleared out our garage in Superior, brought in tables and chairs, filled every available corner with art supplies, and called it our "Art Garage."
First came two Artsy Kids, then four, then six. Before long, the garage was overflowing with artwork, colorful ideas, laughter, and plenty of creative mess!
Those early days were special. We watched children arrive unsure of what they could do and leave proudly carrying their own creations. We saw their confidence grow, their personalities emerge through their artwork, and the smiles on their parents' faces. Somewhere along the way, we realized we weren't simply teaching art—we were building a little creative community.
And that community kept growing.
We began bringing our programs into schools, homes, and community centers. Children were our beginning and will always have a special place in our hearts, but soon teens, adults, and older adults joined the adventure, each bringing their own curiosity, experiences, and creativity.
In 2021, CBArt Studios officially became a mobile art studio, and in November 2024, we opened the doors to our permanent home in Superior. What started with a few tables in a garage had grown into a Studio-Gallery—a place to create, learn, exhibit art, celebrate special moments, enjoy music, and connect with our community.
Today, when we look around CBArt, we sometimes think back to those first Artsy Kids and our little Art Garage. So much has changed, but the heart of what we started remains the same: sharing our love of art, encouraging creativity, and bringing people together.
And perhaps that's our favorite part of the story.
We're still creating it together.
Artist, Educator & Co-Founder of CBArt Studios
I am a Venezuelan-French artist and educator originally from Caracas, where my artistic adventure began more than 35 years ago. My creative journey continued through 18 wonderful years in Paris before bringing me to Superior, Colorado, in 2002.
I am a curious, largely self-taught clay sculptor and mixed-media artist who loves experimenting with materials, textures, colors, and unconventional techniques. I am also a chemist with a PhD in Materials Science, and my scientific background naturally influences the way I approach art. For me, science and art are not separate worlds—they are connected through curiosity, observation, experimentation, and discovery.
Having lived, worked, and traveled in different countries, I find inspiration in the cultures, people, and experiences I have encountered along the way. My creative life has become a wonderful balance between art, science, and the many cultures that have shaped who I am.
Teaching and sharing my love of art are among the most rewarding parts of my journey. I have had the joy of creating with children, teens, adults, and older adults, encouraging each person to explore, experiment, take creative risks, and discover their own artistic voice.
I believe creativity belongs to everyone, and there is always something new to discover when we allow ourselves to play, imagine, and create.
Fused Glass Artist, Geologist & Co-Founder of CBArt Studios
I am a geologist and self-taught fused glass artist. For most of my life, I never considered myself an artist, although looking back, I realize that art and science have always been closely connected in the way I see the world.
As a geologist, I have spent years fascinated by the patterns, structures, colors, and transformations found in nature—from microscopic crystals to landscapes shaped by wind, water, heat, and time.
That curiosity found a new creative expression when I discovered fused glass. I became fascinated by what happens inside the kiln, where heat transforms individual pieces of glass into something entirely new. In many ways, the process feels surprisingly familiar to a geologist!
In my glasswork, I explore color, texture, transparency, layering, and pattern, combining careful planning with the exciting unpredictability of the kiln.
I especially enjoy sharing this medium with beginners and young artists, encouraging them to experiment, discover new possibilities, and experience that wonderful moment when they see their finished pieces emerge from the kiln.
For me, fused glass is an ongoing adventure where science, creativity, curiosity, and a little unpredictability come together.
Our instructors bring a wonderful variety of artistic backgrounds, experiences, and teaching styles to CBArt Studios. What they share is a passion for creativity, a love of teaching, and the belief that everyone can discover the joy of making art.
Together, they create a welcoming and supportive environment where students of all ages can learn, experiment, develop new skills, and find their own creative voice.

Alongside her artistic practice, Kelly brings extensive experience working with children, including years of volunteering at Coal Creek Elementary School and organizing creative activities. As a mother of two boys, she understands the importance of making learning fun and engaging.
Kelly enjoys exploring different artistic techniques, with a special love for watercolor, collage, and colored pencils.

Through drawing, painting, mixed media, design, and hands-on exploration, she encourages students to experiment, develop new skills, solve creative challenges, and gain confidence in their artistic abilities.
Visual Artist & Instructor
Cony Urroz is a Nicaraguan artist born in Masaya, where her love of art began at an early age. By the age of five, she was already drawing portraits! Although she initially pursued a career in law, her passion for art eventually led her to study at the National Art School in Nicaragua.
In 2004, Cony founded Blue Room Gallery, a cultural space dedicated to supporting local artists through exhibitions, creative opportunities, and art education. After moving to the United States in 2005, she continued developing her artistic practice, creating and exhibiting award-winning work.
At CBArt Studios, Cony shares her experience and passion for the visual arts, helping students strengthen their skills through observation, practice, and experimentation. She encourages each artist to build confidence, explore new possibilities, and develop a personal creative voice.
At CBArt Studios, we believe creativity has no age limit, artistic expression has no single definition, and everyone has something wonderful to discover through art.
You don't need to be an experienced artist—or even consider yourself an artist—to enjoy creating. Whether you're holding a paintbrush for the first time, exploring a new technique, developing your skills, or rediscovering a creative passion, there's a place for you here.
Our approach is rooted in curiosity, exploration, and the joy of discovery. We value the creative journey just as much as the finished artwork, encouraging students to experiment with materials, learn from artists and art history, embrace unexpected results, and find their own ways of expressing themselves.
Children will always have a special place at CBArt. Their imagination, spontaneity, and fearless curiosity inspired our very beginning. But we've learned that those qualities don't belong only to children. They live in all of us, sometimes just waiting for an opportunity to come out and play!
Above all, CBArt is about people. We want our Studio-Gallery to be a warm, inclusive, and inspiring space where creativity builds confidence, art sparks conversations, friendships grow, and everyone feels welcome.
Come as you are, bring your curiosity, and don't worry about making mistakes. Some of the most wonderful artistic discoveries happen when things don't go exactly as planned.
Because at CBArt, it's not just about making art. It's about creating connections, sharing experiences, and making our community a little more colorful, one ARTventure at a time.
