about Devin Watlington

I am a full time mural artist and portrait painter living in Austin, Texas. I finally pushed past all of my fears and I quit my job to start my career as a full time artist. There is no better time than the present to take control of your future, am I right? 

I love to drink wine, binge watch tv shows and snuggle with my dog, Moses. He is my biggest helper while I make art. By help, I mean he sleeps beside me on the floor.

My main focus during the day is painting murals. When I'm not on a mural job you'll find me in my studio working on custom artwork for clients. I specialize in custom portraits of people and animals. Portraits were not my original focus, but I became so intrigued with how unique every face looked as I was painting and I fell in love with them. Now my studio walls are adorn with so many faces, it's almost as if I have an audience watching me paint.

If you are interested in purchasing an original painting, a replica print or a commissioned piece, contact me! I would love to make you your very own piece to hang on your walls.
