Megan Broughton illustrated the newly released children's book The Cat and The Lion by Shaina Simmons. The book explores the magical culture of New Orleans. Through the eyes of a stray kitten on a quest to find a home, this tale reveals what it means to find courage.

“As the Creator and Executive Producer of Reading Rainbow, I only wish the series were still in production because The Cat & The Lion would have been chosen as a “feature book” for the series. Shaina Simmons tells a captivating, imaginative story with first class writing and Megan Broughton’s illustrations are richly drawn and compelling. I love this family, the kitten and their adventure.” —Reviewed by: Twila C. Liggett, Ph.D.

Megan is Oxbow's Printmaking faculty and Dorm Head.

Our daughter graduated summa cum laude from NYU with a double major in Studio Art and Art History. She is now working for Calvin Klein. She is contemplating getting a law degree and pursuing a career repatriating art objects. She still keeps in touch with several of her Oxbow classmates and they have regular reunions in Manhattan... I would say that Oxbow was the best semester that any of my four children spent in their cumulative 16 years of high school. Our daughter was the right kid, and for the right kid you do a wonderful job. You changed her life. Thank you.

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 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!
