Nibha Akireddy is an artist from the South Bay Area. She graduated in 2022 from Stanford University, where she studied electrical engineering. Though she has not formally studied art in a university setting, she has been painting her whole life and has always found artistic inspiration in her communities. A Telugu-American woman, Akireddy is interested in complicating what it means to be a diasporic artist and embraces multicultural identity, multidisciplinary thought, and questioning the labels imposed on artists.

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 School is one of the preeminent choices for creative high school students interested in the arts. Their project-based, integrated approach to learning mirrors the approach of many top art schools. At California College of the Arts, we are thrilled to see applicants who have attended Oxbow because we know they are well prepared for the rigors of college level work. I wish there had been an Oxbow School when I was a high school student!

— Stephen Beal, President, California College of the Arts

I want to thank you all for being so supportive and wonderful, thank you for running this incredible program. And half of my acceptance to RISD is because of Oxbow. (Especially thanks to Chris who wrote my letter of rec, to Jennifer who revised my essays, to the admissions team who helped me with my portfolio.
