Glenn Sherwin

Glenn Sherwin is currently on a semester-long National Outdoor Leadership School (NOLS) trip in Baja California, hiking, sea kayaking & sailing. The only contact with family and friends has been a one-time letter, sent by snail-mail. She reports that the curriculum is simultaneously challenging and inspiring, and the scenery is breathtaking. According to the NOLS instructors, "there are 3 levels of fun. Level one fun is simply easy fun where everything goes your way. Level two fun is when it's still fun, but some crazy stuff happens and it is fun to talk about later. Level three fun is downright bananas and potentially life-threatening." She has experienced all but a full-on-level-three, and is thriving on the challenge in much the same way as her time at Oxbow pushed her to find her potential and live into it!

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.

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.

The Oxbow School has both a local and national reputation for excellence. Oxbow produces great artists. In its studio, these emerging artists have a community of creative peers who respect one another and foster an expectation to produce thoughtful, sophisticated work.
