Meet Tabbi Geiger, a Bluffton High School junior, and the Icon's student artist of the month.
Tabbi has already taken Art One, Design One and Design Two, according to her art teacher, Vicki Garmon.
After high school her plans are to try to get into Texas A&M in Galveston. "I want to pursue the career of a marine biologist," she said.
"I enjoy art because it is a good stress reliever. I also love to see my creations in the end because I never know how they will turn out but it always shows what I am feeling. It just comes natural to me," adds Tabbi.
