In 2015, Josh Tiessen began working on a painting series, entitled “Streams in the Wasteland.” Having exhibited his work locally, Josh’s dream was to have a solo exhibition at a major New York gallery where it is quite uncommon for Christians to have a voice. Without any promise of this, he painted in faith believing that his series, inspired by the book of Isaiah, which depicted animals in abandoned civilizations giving honor to their Creator in the wake of moral decline, was an important body of work God had laid on his heart.
