Megan Broughton, our Residential Life Advisor (and OS15 Alum) is in El Bruc, Spain as an artist in residence on a support stipend at Can Serrat for the month of October. Can Serrat offers two Writers and two Visual Arts full stipends annually. It is located in a rustic farmhouse 45 kilometers outside Barcelona within the confines of Montserrat Natural Park.

Megan draws inspiration from the breathtaking local geography, views of Catalunya's sacred mountain and artists from around the world. Exploring her artist practice, she's working on a series focusing on similar forms, characteristics, and vocabularies between human bodies and natural forms.

Oxbow forced me to create, and by creating, I established foundation for my thought.

At Oxbow, I got to try inquiry-based learning for the first time. This allowed me to control the amount of rigor and the depth of research in my topic, as well as picking a topic that I found most interesting. From going through this new process of learning, I feel excited to go back to the rigor of my sending school to apply the inquiry-based perspective to my classes.

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.
