In a recent interview with the Visual Art Journal, Rebecca Ogun, Herndon High School Art Teacher, discusses how her grandmother's oil paintings and family traditions in fiber arts ignited her passion for art. Her work often features vibrant floral still lifes, symbolizing cherished memories and the transient beauty of life. Ogun's use of diverse mediums—such as watercolor, oil, and colored pencils—allows her to explore various textures and fluidity, enhancing the natural beauty of her subjects.
