The White House Advent Calendar
2023
The Office of the First Lady displayed two giant advent calendars in the East Room of the White House. During the 25 days leading up to Christmas, a different gift was opened and shared on social media. I partnered with them to illustrate and animate an opening frame for the advent calendar social media series. Artwork is inspired by the calendar builds, the magic of the holiday season, and includes the ice rink that was built on the South Lawn.
