About Me
I started out my art career doing children’s illustrations for books and magazines, so when I transitioned into painting murals they naturally started out as children’s murals.
I consider my greatest strength and passion to be children’s art, though I do end up painting everything.
The greatest joy for me in this job is not only meeting and collaborating with amazing people, but the constant challenge of doing new things in new places.
Murals bring so much color and joy to a space. They have a huge impact and it makes my heart happy to know that people’s days will be a little brighter through the work that I do.
As to who I am, my name is Leila Elgersma. I am a US/British citizen (hence the weird accent).
I live in Wylie, Texas with my husband Paul and our four wonderful kids.

OMG, Leila did such an amazing job on my daughter's room. The time and effort she put in making sure the mural is perfect is unheard of today. Now, my daughter's room went from being ignored to now becoming focal point of my house. Can't wait for my next project!

Leila painted a super-heroes mural in my sons bedroom wall (a whole wall with a super cool background and four super heroes-batman,spiderman,superman,captain america) and let me tell you- words would NEVER be able to express how happy and excited we ALL were when we saw it all done. I had showed her a few ideas I had in mind and made sure to tell her I wanted something as realistic as possible, not so cartoonish. What she did in his wall was WAY WAYYYYY more than what I expected, just perfect! My son absolutely loves his room and doesn't want to get out of there anymore lol All the super heroes looks like they are coming at you, their face features is just perfect, like real man, not cartoon. The Batman? I told her, I would marry him, but for now Ill stick to my husband lol jokes aside- I recommend Leila to anyone that is looking for an amazing artist that is gonna go beyond your expectations and make sure you are completely satisfied with the job. Leila, thank you so much for what you have done. It's absolutely more than what we expected and we couldn't be happier! 🙂

Thank you very much for painting our daughter's playroom. It looks amazing and we really appreciate all your hard work. It is a whole new room that the kids will really enjoy spending time in. Lyla absolutely loved the room when we showed her tonight. She had to touch every character on the wall 😉

Leila is a sweet person and a brilliant muralist. She is very personable and will work with you to get exactly what you are looking for in your kid’s room or home or office decor. Not only does she have great artistic skills but is very reasonable in price. She will get the work done in an efficient and effective manner. Very nice to work with. We had a wonderful experience with having her as our muralist. My wife and I were very glad we chose Leila. Go for Leila..you can't go wrong. Leila..Leila..Leila...

I admit can be hard to please at times as I am fairly particular, and do know exactly how I want things to look. That can make life easy, or hard on contractors depending on how they look at it, and how they work. Leila listened carefully, and made pre-drawings of everything that we asked for to get our thoughts and changes before she started the work on the walls. Then she made adjustments per our request as the work was in progress. The end result is EXACTLY what I wanted if not BETTER than I had imagined it! We could not be happier, and I will recommend her to anyone and everyone that wants some work done as she was a dream to work with. Thank You Leila!

Amazing work! If you need a mural done or canvas' done... Leila's Art Corner is the place to go! This is who did Caleb's mural for his safari nursery & dinosaur big boy room!

Leila's Art Corner is fabulous! I gave her an idea and she produced a stunning painting of a modest mermaid for my angel's bedroom! Thank you so much!

She did an amazing job on my custom painting for my son! She was beyond helpful and did whatever I asked. It looks great in his room and I will have her do future paintings for me! Thank you sooo much!

I initially came across a pirate ship painting that I liked but also wanted to matching mermaid painting since I have a boy/girl sharing a room. I reached out to Leila to create the matching mermaid set with similar colors. The set looks beautiful and is very high quality! I love it!

I am an interior designer working in the Dallas metropolitan area. Since I hired Leila for one of my project (Montessori school) a few years back, I have never looked for another artist. Leila is not only immensely talented but is also very dedicated and works hard to make my vision a reality through her art. I truly appreciate her patience when it comes to developing mock ups and her attention to details when it comes to executing the final work on site. When I have employed Leila’s services on my projects, the clients only have good things to say about her and her work and tell me about all the compliments they receive. I plan on continuing to partner with Leila on all my projects and highly recommend her to others.
