Everything is a little up in the air right now, literally and figuratively. She's not really sure what she's doing and just kind of playing it by ear, thinking about where she wants to go next and what she wants to do. She's happy and really excited about flying. As far as art goes, she's working on textiles, teaching herself to use a knitting machine, doing some felting, making clothing, sewing and drawing. Check out her web site at www.juliasullivan.info.

Nora Rodriguez

06/15/10

Nora Rodriguez - I'm having fun studying visual art and art history at Columbia in NYC, and still getting my hands dirty with lots of printmaking. I also have Oxbow to thank for the fact that I get to see Rachael Browning (who was my roommate at Oxbow) all the time. She's at Cooper, and still one of my best friends. Actually, right now she is probably on a boat in transit to Europe (she's a tough one to send letters to when her address is 'the Atlantic').

If at any point Oxbow doubts the good it does, I just want to reassure you all that you’re changing the lives of young artists every semester.

— Colin Davis, Fall 2009

It's been a whirlwind week, but also a time when I sang the praises of Oxbow to my colleagues. I've been thinking much about how Oxbow is an exemplar of true education. That art centers the curriculum is hardly surprising, and for those of us who work within the traditional educational mold Oxbow offers a gold standard of focused project based learning. Beyond the school's approach to immersive experience are the intangibles which make Oxbow different. The sense of community and of working together, even as each student retained their strong individual presence is palpable. The feeling of warmth and trust between the adults and the nearly adults in the Oxbow community could be felt throughout the campus. The openness of the architecture and interconnectedness of the three studios in themselves speak of the Oxbow philosophy and identity. More than form follows function, the physical attributes of Oxbow have a distinct warmth and invite exploration.

I'm sure that the ongoing challenges of leading and reinventing your school might sometimes keep you from having the time to see Oxbow with the fresh eyes of a visitor, but your steady presence and vision are really visible in every detail. Thank you for inviting me to one of the most profound experiences in my career.

— Ken Rush, Visual Arts Department, Packer Collegiate Institute

In the year leading up to Oxbow, I became obsessed with the program, I was entranced with reading testimonials and researching interdisciplinary learning styles. When I arrived at Oxbow I was never disappointed, despite my endless expectations. I will forever cherish the time I spent at Oxbow and the connections I made there. Through Oxbow I was able to hone into the ideas I was thinking about, to refine my artistic process and to see the world in a new light every day of my life. I'm not going to say that without Oxbow I wouldn't be the person I am today, but I will say that without Oxbow it would have taken me at least four years to become who I am after one Oxbow semester.
