Miranda von Salis is attending her first year at Guilford College in Greenboro, NC on a merit scholarship. Her hair is still pink and blue, the mohawk is growing out and it kind of scared the opposing teams last season!
Oxbow forced me to create, and by creating, I established foundation for my thought.

The art that goes on in most high schools is usually relatively skill-based. At Oxbow, there is more emphasis on looking and seeing and more critical thinking about what you are doing, the human connection, that personal element. Through art you can begin to understand yourself better. That may be the biggest eye-opener for students. It is almost a preview of college. Get out of the mechanical factory high school education and get into something open, new, and invigorating in a small environment.

Oxbow opened me up to what was out there in the world to go out and grab, and gave me so much that I take with me everywhere I go, with everything I do.
