Mariah Shipp, a Citrus Springs Homeschool kindergartener, is the student artist of the month for June. She likes to draw animals, anime, and video game characters. She uses pencil, markers, and acrylic, her favorite, because she can make new colors. When not creating art, Mariah enjoys piano, violin, karate, video games, and fishing.
Her mother, Desiree Vargas, said she enjoys being part of Springs Homeschool because “it gives her more time to explore things she enjoys doing, including spending more time with mom and dad.”
