Christmas Cheer, Katelyn Lapham, 2020
The reason behind the art I made is to give a little more festivity to the holiday season. After this year, we all were feeling pretty drained by the time it came to Christmas, and at my house, my sister and I decorated the house to take some of the stress away from our parents. The normal art photography I do involves the outdoors, so I'm used to naturally good lighting. Since I didn’t have access to that, I worked with the tree lighting and framing of the photo to convey my message of holiday spirit. My hope Is people come away in a little better spirit. I think the take away from this should be to spend time with the ones you love. When you’re not at your best, sometimes relaxing with family can do great things.
