In Memoriam

Jennifer Bobrick OS22, September 1992 - February 2013

09/04/13

It is with great sadness that we send news of a loss in the Oxbow Alumni family: Jennifer Bobrick, OS22. We will remember Jennifer's joy at seeing what her Final Project drawings looked like when lit from behind on a light box. Jennifer found her voice here at Oxbow.

Jennifer was a sophomore at the University of New Mexico, studying art and psychology. She wanted to become an art therapist working with children. To share your memories go to the memorial page created by her parents Amy and John Bobrick and brother Eric James.

Advice I would give to future students is to just do it and come to Oxbow and not overthink it because it will most likely (99.9%) be the best decision you have made in your life.

Hey guys! OS33 alumni here! I received a full ride to California College of the Arts and just wanted to tell you guys that if it wasn't for the Oxbow experience and the great faculty who saw the potential in me I wouldn't have gotten as far as I did. I am still waiting for other colleges at the moment but I think this might be the school I will attend this fall!

The art that goes on in most high schools is usually relatively skill-based. At Oxbow, there is more emphasis on looking and seeing and more critical thinking about what you are doing, the human connection, that personal element. Through art you can begin to understand yourself better. That may be the biggest eye-opener for students. It is almost a preview of college. Get out of the mechanical factory high school education and get into something open, new, and invigorating in a small environment.
