Welcome to a new school year and a new monthly feature showcasing Bluffton High School artists. Vickie Garmon, BHS art teacher, selects the featured artists.

This month's artist is Kaitlyn Burkholder, a Bluffton High senior.

She had already taken several art classes including Art one, Photography one, Design/Composition one  and two, Ceramics one and two, and Seminar.

"I hope to persue a career in art education after high school," she says.

"I enjoy art because of expression. Ideas and feelings that are hard to communicate with words can be expressed though image in a way that leaves vast room for individual interpretation, she ads.

The art piece in the photo is created out of many many seed beads.
