Mission of PAC Studios
At PAC Studios, we celebrate different textures, environments, and mediums through the continual creation of 2D and 3D arts. Art is meant to be used and enjoyed, and with that in mind, the items produced here at PAC Studios will always fulfill one or the other, but oftentimes both. The artist behind the site is P. Alex Caro, a life-long practitioner of ceramic arts who also has a passion for sculpture, watercolor painting, drawing, woodworking, and other mixed media creations.
