“I love our back porch over the lake. I love to sit alone and bird watch, think, eat, read, and get some sun. These little breathers help me balance the hours of CAD work I do on my PC. I try to get up and get inspired every hour or two when I have a heavy day of computer drafting ahead of me.”

“I love to sit in the butterfly garden. It’s right by the lake, and I am surrounded by all kinds of flowers. It’s a great place for me to go on a warm day when I am stressed about a project.”

“The printmaking studio is where I feel most at home. It’s got everything you need and more to make a lot of kick-ass prints—as long as you know what you’re doing.”

“Convenient and peaceful.”

“My favorite space is the alternative process lab in the photo department. It is truly understated how unique 
the alternative process class is to Watkins. I would say 
I particularly love it because it combines photography and chemistry. This class puts the control 
back into the hands of the artist in many ways.”

“Bright, airy, collaborative, and conducive to intense concentration, Watkins’s new silo studios give our seniors the most inspiring laboratories in which to work and grow. 24-7.”
