Studio 23 Collegiate Spotlight presents:

Brittni Watkins

July 8 through August 8, 2026

Tabor Gallery

Brittni Watkins is an emerging artist whose work explores the emotional connection between humans and animals. Through drawing, painting, and digital media, she focuses on themes of instinct, trust, and unspoken communication. Her work often places animals at the center, using them to reflect emotional states and relationships that are difficult to express through words. Watkins’ practice combines structured techniques with intuitive development, creating pieces that feel both intentional and expressive.
