GRATITUDE TO SHARE SHOW UPDATES, PROCESS SHOTS & MUSINGS WITH YOU
I had a fabulous time visiting the Alberta Craft Council with my mom last weekend for their first opening since the pandemic. It had a wonderful turnout. I got to see friends I hadn’t seen in twenty years, meet new friends, and talk all things Kitsch. Below is a short gallery of images taken at the opening.
This certificate stood out to me as I really enjoyed the course work. I have always admired my instructors, and Dr. Candace Tangorra Matelic inspired me all the more. Her passion is contagious, and I found myself wanting to make museums and their collections more accessible to a diverse public while working with community partners and telling stories from multiple perspectives.
I am grateful for the opportunity to participate the Bow Valley Artists for Ukraine fundraiser. My great-grandparents were Ukrainians. My great-grandfather, Anton Tyndyk (1890 - 1972), moved to Keppel, Saskatchewan from Knyazhyi Mist, Lvivska Oblast, Ukraine in 1911.Barbara Mot (1896 - 1983), my great-grandmother, was born in Ukraine and married Anton Tendeck in Saskatchewan. I have never met my great-grandparents, though I often think about my heritage as I explore my identity through the land I reside and Canadian history in my work.
