Darby Prichard, a Bluffton High School senior, is the Bluffton Icon's school artist of the month.

She has taken Art 1, Ceramics 1 and Ceramics 2 and plans to join the National Guard and eventually study to become a mechanical engineer.

"I'm currently working on making a ceramic nativity scene. I enjoy art because I can take a vision or an idea and be creative to actually make my ideas come to life," she said. "Ceramics is a great way to use creativity and uniqueness to get experience working with your hands to create art."

Vickie Garmon is the high school art teacher.
