Laura Strahan, a Bluffton High School senior, is the Icon's student artist of the month. Laura has enrolled in Art 1, Design 1, Design 2. Her college plans are undecided.
Describing the art project in the photo, Laura says: "It was a watercolor painting of a drawing I did of a dragon at the top of a waterfall with mountains in the background.
"I don't think watercolor is my best medium - had not had much experience - but I felt like I got better at it and enjoyed it more as I did the project."
