I’m Devin Watlington and I am the founder and creator of Watlington Creative. I am an Austin based muralist and freelance artist that travels all over to paint beautiful art on walls.
I grew up in a small town outside of Waco, Texas. As a child I dreamed of one day becoming an artist. I would have never thought that one day that dream would come true!
I attended Baylor University and obtained a BFA in Graphic Design. After graduating, I began a career as a bench jeweler and jewelry designer. As a young jeweler crafting intricate designs, my evenings were a canvas waiting to be painted. Longing for a more creative career, I delved into the world of painting. Slowly, my jewelry tools made way for brushes, paving a path toward becoming a muralist.
I found my true calling in the expansive realm of murals. Each stroke became an ode to my childhood dream, embracing the freedom and vibrancy of an artist's life.
Today, I cherish the journey that led me here—a journey of evolution from jewelry to the grandeur of murals.
Avery O. and myself had the amazing opportunity to paint a few murals for Queer Eye on their Austin season! We got to work with Bobby Berk and even be featured in one episode. Have you spotted us yet?
