Rebekah Walker, Ada High School senior, is the Icon's February artist of the month.
Rebekah is currently in Art 4. She has taken Art 1, Art 2, and Art 3.
"Art has always been a part of my life," she said. "I remember in eighth grade Mr. Wells saw a drawing I was doing and told me that he really wanted me to take high school art. I've taken art every year since. In my free time I enjoy creating drawings and paintings for friends."
Rebekah stands beside a picture of pop bottles that she painted on top of pop bottle caps.
"Believe it or not, it was originally going to be a picture of a 'fox' but, this just made more sense to me," she said.
