Katarina Schmidt just graduated Magna Cum Laude from Central Washington University with a BA in Art and a BA in Anthropology! She's taking a break to live school free and adventure-full. Look for her art showing in the Pacific Northwest, or on her web-site at www.rekartak.weebly.com. She's been in touch with Oxbow OS12 alumni Lisa and Katelyn. She's traveling to the west coast this summer and then in search of an artistic career based in the social services. To quote Katie "Hooray for art and people! (and dinosaurs and battleships still, of course)."

She hopes all is well in the Bay Area, and that Oxbow is flourishing. If there are any Oxbow alumni from the Pacific Northwest or who are now working in the Northwest she would love to connect, network, do some community art! Please contact her by email at rekartak@gmail.com.

Oxbow was, without a doubt, the best part of my high school experience. A year after leaving, and I still feel as though it were yesterday that I was sitting on the lawn, eating in the dining hall, and laughing with my friends in the studios.

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.

Oxbow opened me up to what was out there in the world to go out and grab, and gave me so much that I take with me everywhere I go, with everything I do.
