Jennifer Watson is a self-described perfectionist who, little by little, has learned to find beauty in imperfections. She won prizes for her artwork as a child, but during her college years, she lost confidence in her abilities under the pressure of critiques and demanding professors. Watson changed course and put her brushes aside. Thirty years later, just for fun, Watson attended several enameling classes at the Metal Museum. The experience was transformational. Not only did she love her newfound skills, but in 2022, she was inspired to paint again.
