Message from Watson Design
Primarily self-taught, I've been an artist nearly all my life. I finally embraced my passion and talent as a fulltime profession in 2004 at the urging of family, friends and clients who had enjoyed the fruits of my artistic "hobby". Today, as the founder and owner of Watson Design, I happily wield my brushes and paints on behalf of a diverse residential and commercial clientele; painting everything from nurseries and children's rooms to daycares, schools and commercial interiors. Whether it is a detailed mural, or simple, decorative painting, the artwork I create for my clients is beautiful and purposeful. I enjoy working closely with clients and their children to fulfill their vision and the potential of the space - often in ways the client may not even have thought possible.

I have worked with Leigh for several mutual customers. I have always been impressed with her work and her professionalism. In the contracting business, it is refreshing to interact with someone who is committed to their customers and does what they say they are going to do. Leigh delivers that, as well as a great service at a fair price.

I can not say enough about Watson Design. The versatility alone of this artist is amazing. Leigh Watson will not leave a job site until she personally is proud and in love with each project! Leigh has done two of my children's rooms and a bathroom for me. Each time she exceeded my expectations and took my own ideas to the next level. She is professional, delightful and super talented!
Pros: Dependable, Talented and Professional

I have had the great opportunity to work with Leigh on a couple of projects. Her creativity is truly amazing.
Pros: Can create anything you can imagine.
Posted 09/08/09
Working with Leigh couldn't be more delightful. Not only is she one of the most "bubbly" people you'll ever meet, she's trustworthy and is not satisfied that she's done a good job until you are. Her work is superior, and she can do many different styles of art on your walls. If you have an idea that needs developing or if you know exactly what you want, working with Leigh will be doubly delightful because you'll have fun getting exactly what you want.
Pros: Awesome person; Great results
Cons: None

Cons: none

Leigh listened to my ideas,fine tuned them with a discerning eye. Refined my color choices and helped to create the whole color scheme for my house with her amazing work. I have worked with her on two separate occasions and looking forward to doing so again in the future.

My wife is a teacher at a private school and Leigh painted her room at school. Leigh was able to work in a design that worked well for kids with special needs and work with a Feng Shui designer. She listens, collaborates and makes what you see in your head look even better on the wall. Her design in my wife's room was so elegant and beautiful that all the other teachers are jealous and this year she will have a nice calm space to work in. I would highly recommend Leigh to anyone for work at home or the office.
Pros: Hard to imagine someone could do a better job
Cons: None

Artist Leigh Watson not only offers some of the finest decorative art, along with canvases and other artwork, but she does everything she does with complete integrity. I have known her for years and have only known her to be completely honest and very hard-working. Her prices are very competitive--in fact, my opinion is that she usually does not charge enough! But she always makes sure her customer receives a high value for the price. Check out her website for her portfolio; you'll be impressed!
Pros: Amazing murals, always bringing in new concepts and skills
Cons: none that I know of

Despite being away from my area of Missouri City, Leigh made me feel like a customer right next door.

Leigh can paint everything from princess castles and under the sea scenes to Hospital murals and school mascots 30+ feet tall. That doesn't even cover her company logo creations and faux finishes. The most impressive thing is that it all looks so real to life like your watching a Disney movie come to life on your wall. BRAVO LEIGH!

My company was looking for an artist to do a mural of our company's logo for our entrance way. We talked to a few mural artists and Leigh of Watson Design completely won us over.
Not only did she tell us she could do the job quickly (which she did in a few very short hours,) but she easily worked with our schedule coming in after business hours and after she had just been on another job. She was an absolute pleasure to work with.
The final result was fantastic. We were very pleased with the work and are hoping to use Watson Design again if we get the chance.
