Last school year Brittany Gonce (OCS ’13) spent months
creating a huge painting of Russell Westbrook for an Art 3 project. She used a
technique inspired by Chuck Close, a famous artist who paints on a grid and
uses layers of shapes and colors to create large portraits. After graduating
from OCS, Brittany has continued to use her artistic gift to create. One of her
most recent creations was another large portrait painting. This time she
painted Thunder player and NBA MVP Kevin Durant. Last night, Brittany and
friend Semaja Parker (OCS ’13) took the portraits of Westbrook and Durant to
the airport and greeted the Thunder players as they arrived home from San
Antonio. Deservingly so, Brittany’s artwork caught the attention of both the
local news and the Thunder players!
We are so proud of Brittany!
