- #1 Artist: Kate Kellehner "My drawing depicts a family photo in an album with a father, toddler, and mother holding hands walking. The toddler is a sillouhoutte filled instead with a visual of the DNA double helix, which would presumably be used to solve her case."#1 Artist: Kate Kellehner "My drawing depicts a family photo in an album with a father, toddler, and mother holding hands walking.

- #2 Artist: Cydni Alers "This design symbolizes the fragility of justice and the vital role that community plays in upholding it. As Lady Justice’s stone arm begins to crack, a human hand steps in to support the scales, reflecting the collective effort required to solve cold cases. Together we can solve cold cases!"#2 Artist: Cydni Alers "This design symbolizes the fragility of justice and the vital role that community plays in upholding it.

- #4 Artist: Jaz Palmer "My design for Season of Justice aims to capture the unwavering pursuit of resolution that defines their mission. It is a visual reminder that even in the coldest of cases, hope persists and justice never sleeps. My overall aesthetic seeks to balance the gravity of unsolved crimes with the optimism that organizations like SOJ bring to families and investigations. Through this design, I hope to raise awareness for National Crime Prevention Month and contribute to SOJ's vital efforts to bring closure to those impacted by violent crimes. I believe that every case counts and that even the smallest act of support can help tip the scales towards justice."#4 Artist: Jaz Palmer "My design for Season of Justice aims to capture the unwavering pursuit of resolution that defines their mission.

- #5 Artist: Colleen Lindgren "I have supported Season of Justice’s remarkable work for many years and am now beyond honored for the opportunity to illustrate that moment when there is a DNA match finally connecting a name to a victim initiating the steps towards closure for love ones. I’ve been a non-profit professional for almost a decade, previously in social services and now as an employee of a regional art museum. I am currently working to pick of my artistic practice again through mixed mediums and explore more ways that the arts and advocacy come together."#5 Artist: Colleen Lindgren "I have supported Season of Justice’s remarkable work for many years and am now beyond honored for the opportunity to illustrate that moment when there is a DNA match finally connecting a name to a victim initiating the steps towards closure for love ones.

- #6 Artist: LC Hollingsworth "I wanted to highlight the importance of collaboration in cold cases and how Season of Justice has facilitated that by allowing us to support cold case investigations in the most effective way. The two colors of the DNA strand symbolize the community and investigative agencies working together to solve cold cases."#6 Artist: LC Hollingsworth "I wanted to highlight the importance of collaboration in cold cases and how Season of Justice has facilitated that by allowing us to support cold case investigations in the most effective way.

- #7 Artist: Hailey Wellauer "As a memorial portrait artist I know the pain that losing a loved one can cause. I’m passionate about healing and bringing closure for grieving families and loved ones. This scale, created from an hourglass, represents the mission of this organization, that it’s time for Justice."#7 Artist: Hailey Wellauer "As a memorial portrait artist I know the pain that losing a loved one can cause.

- #8 Artist: Simone Pacha "Season of Justice is a nonprofit organization forever attempting to help people gain answers and closure. Try as hard as we might, individuals and corporations, sometimes we fall short and can not bridge the gap to get answers or solace. But sometimes we do, those connections are made, the truth is found, and answers gained."#8 Artist: Simone Pacha "Season of Justice is a nonprofit organization forever attempting to help people gain answers and closure.

- #9 Artist: Shelby Stinnett "The greatest motivation for solving cold cases is hope. You can have the most up-to-date forensic technology or the most intelligent staff on the case, but none of that means anything without the day, month, year, or decade-long hope found in those willing to spend their time finding the truth and solving the case. Hope is what these families need and what Season of Justice can provide. The lost will come home, the wrongdoers will be found, and the families will have justice."#9 Artist: Shelby Stinnett "The greatest motivation for solving cold cases is hope.
