Much of the Northeast U.S., where Praxis resides, was buried by a blizzard over the weekend. This storm dumped up to 36 inches of snow in some places, knocked out power, and made roads impassable for days. Schools shut down for the first half of the week, and business as usual came to a griding halt. While moments like this are intense and can feel inconvenient, they are a reminder of a few things – one is that resilience is real. People have a way of coming together to help each other out, whether that means shoveling the drive of a neighbor who may not be able to or making sure everyone around us is safe and warm. The other is that a little bit of preparedness goes a long way. This is something that carries over so completely to your career in the art world. While there may be storms ahead on your journey, being ready for anything keeps you strong and ready to move forward, no matter what.
