"Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep," by Scott Adams

We had so many incredible submissions this week, and nothing makes us happier than seeing the art this community creates. Choosing just one Artist of the Year was nearly impossible. Yet this image stood apart — creative, playful, and shining a light on a family with middle to older children, an age so rarely captured in such an out-of-the-box way.
CONGRATULATIONS TO THE NEWEST UNRAVELED ARTIST OF THE YEAR…
Whitney Downs
This week, we are thrilled to celebrate Whitney Downs as Unraveled’s newest Artist of the Year and honestly, we’re obsessed with this image.
There’s something magnetic about it — the honesty, the contrast, the raw connection between a grown man and a sweet, innocent puppy. It’s beautifully human and quietly powerful — the kind of photograph that stops you in your tracks and makes you feel so many different things at once.
Whitney is a photographer who creates purely for the love of it — she shoots for herself, for the art, for the joy of capturing truth. She doesn’t buy into the rat race of Instagram likes and follows, and we have mad respect for that. Her work reminds us what this craft is really about: seeing deeply, creating honestly, and staying rooted in your own voice.
Congratulations, Whitney and to all of the featured artists. We’re so honored to have you all in the Unraveled community.
