Sarah Pick worked for a large manufacturing company for 17 years in an operations and logistics engineering role. As part of a dual career household, Sarah elected to stay home and raise her two children when schedules made a dual career household difficult. When she moved to Waco, TX in 2013, Sarah began painting watercolors and a whole new passion was discovered. She firmly believes that both sides of the brain engage when you create art; from the planning and organizing stage, to the free expression and creative quiet moments of painting, the artist uses every aspect of the brain to create art. Sarah appreciates the variety that the watercolor medium affords -- from soft velvety muted colors and hard bold lines. She particularly loves reflective light and shadows and how they shape objects in her paintings and brings their depth to life. She is interested in testing all sorts of styles, ranging from realistic botanicals and reflective glass to whimsical impressionism and the blooms of watercolor. Whether it is splatter or specifics, she loves to see values create an interest in the beholder.

When I was eleven years old, my father told me to never touch his Nikon or his Betamax. Naturally, I became interested in photography and the moving image, along with audio recording. Before long, I was working at a radio station and a darkroom.
I'm a Mississippi guy living in Texas. I like anything creative. Looking to get out there and do cool things.
I am here to share my vision with the world through the Arts.

One of many. Discovery is the journey. Artist Bio: One Niner West One Niner West is more than a name—it’s a bearing, a direction, a philosophy. The project represents a destination that feels both real and ethereal, a place that exists in the imagination where the grass is greener, the air is cleaner, and people strive to do their best. It’s not perfect, but it becomes real through sound, voice, words, and symbols. The artist behind One Niner West is an indie rock songwriter from Waco, Texas, whose music has been decades in the making. Their work is described as a product of time and pressure, a learned response that embodies the essence of what makes an artist real. One Niner West’s creative ethos is captured in a personal mantra: “I got an Angel on my shoulder. I got a Devil on my knee. I got a Muse in the corner. The rest of it…the rest of it…just me.” This philosophy underscores the deeply personal and reflective nature of their songwriting. Each track is a journey—sometimes off the beaten path, sometimes tilted a few degrees off center—but always authentic. The music resonates with listeners who appreciate artistry that is raw, thoughtful, and unafraid to explore uncertainty.
I’m an illustrator based in the Waco area, specializing in custom ink drawings of homes, buildings, and meaningful spaces. I create both detailed black-and-white and full-color illustrations, blending traditional drafting techniques with a warm, personal touch. My work is inspired by my grandfather, an architect and artist, whose mid-century design sensibilities and architectural sketching style continue to guide my approach. Each piece I create is rooted in that legacy: clean lines, thoughtful composition, and a deep appreciation for the character of the places people cherish. I take commissions for personal keepsakes, gifts, and architectural art that captures the heart of a place with precision and personality.

Based in Waco, Texas, I’ve been immersed in the arts for most of my life. From attending the Fort Worth Academy of Fine Arts in grade school to studying theatre and multimedia design in college, creativity has always been my foundation. My work spans multiple disciplines, including graphic design, fiber arts, and performance and each medium reflects the next. I’m drawn to the ways rhythm, texture, and visual composition echo one another, and my practice is rooted in exploring those connections across forms.
My story is this, I have been through hell honestly, I have toon of trama and seen alot so I sing and draw out my feelings and also I dace too done all sice i was very young on top of acting
