Megan Landau is happily working away in the Fashion Design program at Parsons NYC. She's not getting a lot of sleep, but loving it all the same. She mentioned that Oxbow and her experiences here helped her adapt to the Parsons life and shape her design style, love for hard work and passionate art. There are about five other girls from Oxbow's OS19 semester that either go to Parsons or live in New York City. She keeps in contact with the special friends made at Oxbow, friends that she'll always have and love. The accepting and creative energy on the Oxbow campus was infectious and it was the first time she felt like being absorbed by art was not unusual or out of place. Being comfortable as an artist never felt right until Oxbow and she's not sure she would have transferred to Parsons if she hadn't had Oxbow as an experience to support her decision. She wrote to tell us how much our school really does affect people's lives.

Sandy King is a sophomore at School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC) in the BFA program with an emphasis in photography. She's become very passionate about photography since leaving Oxbow, particularly analog medium format cameras. She feels that SAIC has a very strong photography department and because it is centrally located in a big city, there is a lot of opportunity to meet successful working artists. She hopes that many more high school students can experience the eye opening environment that Oxbow provided to her.
