August Update

Welcome to my blog! So here is an update for those both near and far away. I'm almost done my school here in Saskatoon. My thesis exhibition is in October and I'll be moving back to Edmonton in November sometime. What will I do then you ask? Well, as most of you know I went to grad school because, besides becoming a better artist, I wanted to teach art at a University... but all that has changed. I've taught some courses and spent a great deal of time seeing what life would be like as faculty and my heart has turned about the whole thing.

So what will I do NOW? I've applied and been accepted to be full time commissioned staff with Campus Crusade for Christ. I'll be working with students on campus in a full time ministry capacity... so I guess to a large extent I'm still working at a University teaching. Funny how things go. And no, I won't quit making art and exhibiting (what exact capacity this can happen remains to be seen). I'm not sure what city I'll end up in but I'm fairly sure I'll be staying within Western Canada, Edmonton? Calgary maybe?

For most of you this will seem like a violent change from my original trajectory, but I assure you this is a really good thing. These past two years held a serious learning curve and I've finally discovered the joy of following God's particular path for me. I realize that my days are numbered and I seriously want to make every one of them count by trusting God in following His invitations and heeding His word because I love Him.

I'll be sending out invitations for my exhibition so send me your address if you know I don't have it and I'll drop a fancy postcard invite in the mail for you. And if you are planning to be in this area on October 21st then please come to my closing party at the Gallery. It really will be an over the top spectacle.

Big Love,
Tiffany
