I didn’t formally engage in any art-making until I started playing music with a 20-person brass band from Providence. I began embroidering to pass time traveling between shows. I now realize that carrying my creative practice through graduate school has benefited me as an ecologist, teacher, and colleague. Whether you have a well-established art practice or not, I encourage you to try new creative projects and make more time for art each day—in other words, find your version of a 20-person brass band from Providence.
