About the Artwork:
“I was brainstorming how to incorporate the warm, cozy feeling I get during the holidays into a painting that would fit the ‘Intertwined’ show title, and of course, that led me to Dolly Parton! She’s such a force for good in the world and she really does embody the holiday spirit. I went with a pastel color scheme to give the piece a vintage 1950s vibe. I hope you enjoy looking at it as much as I enjoyed painting it!” – Johannah O’Donnell
