| Winnie with Brandon, Orion, Sage |
Winnie Vaughan attends Skidmore College in upstate New York and won their 2014 Schick Art Gallery Award for her painting titled Brandon, Orion, Sage in the annual Juried Student Art Exhibition. Guest Juror Sanford Mirling, a Sculptor, Visiting Assistant Professor at Middlebury College in Vermont and Co-Founder of Collar Works Art Space in Troy, NY had this to say about her work:
"I love it when a piece of art clearly expresses its desire to tell me "something," but that "something" is complex enough that I can't understand it right away. It challenges me and I get hooked. I might only give it 17 seconds, but it stays with me after I look away, and I have to go back again."
Oxbow gave Will a voice and a community. Under the nurturing attention of his wonderful teachers, he learned that he had the intellectual capability to express himself and that his unique point of view was, in fact, an asset.

I have learned so many skills and habits that have made me a better person throughout my time here. To name a few: I have learned how to be a good roommate, how to communicate, and how to trust myself. I have learned the importance of staying hydrated, getting good sleep, and having a clean work space. I have learned how to share space both in the studios and dorms. Lastly, I have learned that it’s okay to advocate for what you need and that there is no harm in asking for help or support.

I learned to drop all previous assumptions I had about people because I had never met anyone like the other students at Oxbow. For the first time, my peers and their insightful thinking inspired me. For example, during the ‘Einstein’s Dreams’ presentations, I kept looking around the room thinking, I can’t believe all of these students are talking the way I think.
