Hello! I am a graphic designer, musician, and visual artist located here in central Texas! I have worked in many fine arts fields from teaching to gallery to commission work. There is very little work that I shy away from and I am always happy to learn something new or work outside of my comfort zone.
Hello! I’m Zander and I'm an artist raised in California and currently based in Texas. I've been drawing since I was little, but only got serious about it in high school when I was reintroduced to my passion through my art classes. I began my art career by selling stickers and small prints online, and later at pop-up markets. Currently, I enjoy making art for fun, as well as sharing it and creating new products for people to enjoy! I do my art business on the side right now, but eventually, I'd like to become a full-time illustrator, book designer, and author!
My name is Bailee Rieann Barton and I’m a Texas born and raised artist! I like to use my distinctive dreamy style to celebrate the beauty of both nature and daily life! Sometimes it’s the little things that bring us the most joy, and it’s my goal and hope to bring those sources of small joy and whimsy into the lives of others through my art! I specialize in design, illustration, and crafting

I’m a Texas-based photographer and the creative eye behind Shapiro + Co. My work began as a quiet appreciation for the beauty found in everyday moments—expansive landscapes, thoughtfully composed food, and the subtle presence of people within a space. What started as a personal creative outlet has grown into a developing body of work centered on observation, intention, and light. I’m drawn to scenes that feel both natural and composed—images that capture not just what a place looks like, but how it feels to be there. I find inspiration in travel, stillness, and the details often overlooked. My photography reflects a balance between simplicity and depth, with a focus on texture, tone, and atmosphere. Through my work, I aim to create images that feel timeless, understated, and quietly refined.
Lifelong creative recently turned painter.
Mississippi girl living the Wacotown dream. Work at Mission Waco. Christian. Wife. Artist. Lefty. Dog mom. Sarcastic. Hugger. Planner & pen addict.
I’m a multidisciplinary artist who works with painting, drawing, and mixed media to explore emotion, identity, and the subconscious. My art mixes bold color, surreal imagery, and heavy texture because that’s the most honest way I know to communicate. A lot of my work comes from trying to make sense of what I feel—turning inner chaos into something visual. Through symbols like hearts, figures, creatures, and abstract landscapes, I build worlds that reflect my experiences and the emotions that shape me. Every piece is a part of me, raw and unfiltered.
I grew up in Cedar Park Texas and developed a foundation in traditional media as a student, then as a teacher's assistant at a local art studio. In my teen years I was gripped by the digital arts, and I went on to get my BFA in Interactive Design and Game Development from the Savannah College of Art and Design. I currently live in Waco with my husband and two cats, Aria and Bolero. Professionally, I now do 3D art for a startup game studio working on its first title, and in my personal art life, I still have a tremendous fondness for both traditional and digital painting. My favorite pastimes include video games (of course), Dungeons & Dragons, singing, and participating as a member of the Central Texas Watercolor Society.
