Kayla Kindle, a Bluffton High School senior, is the April Icon artist of the month, according to Vickie Garmon, BHS art teacher.

Kayla has taken Photography in art and says, "I enjoy photography because it is a class that provides lots of hands on projects, such as darkroom prints and photo-shoots, and it has allowed me to tap into my creative side again through projects like photo-shops and stop-motion videos."

Kristi Hurley second; Lisa Coonfare third out of 102 contestants
