Annalise Nisly, a Bluffton High School junior, is the Bluffton Icon's student artist of the month.
She has taken Art one, ceramics one and ceramics two.
" I enjoy ceramics because working with clay in my hands is calming and therapeutic to me," she said. "I especially like this project because I have a lot of creative freedom and I get to be working on one of the most fascinating ecosystems on the earth: the coral reef."
Here plans after high school include college, but specific plans are undecided. Vickie Garmon is the Bluffton HS art teacher.
