On Being a Mother and an Artist
Posted by Caroline Valpied on
Once upon a time I had a cute little studio/box room in our house. When our little baby came along, I kept it for a while, but when it was time for baby to have his own room I was shipped out to the garage to paint between the beer fridge and lawn mower (sob). Seriously though, I have tried so hard to keep going with my painting - even buying a nice big playpen to put next to my easel (see below!) because obviously baby was going to be absolutely fine playing next to me while I painted, not needing me at all...
It's really, really tricky to juggle motherhood and art. To be honest, the last thing I felt like doing in the sleep deprived first ten months (yes, ten!!) was putting paint to canvas. Even getting dressed felt like an effort. The best times I found to draw were when he was sleeping...but he has only just started sleeping in his cot (at 13 months). Before that I pushed the pram back and forth with one hand and drew with the other.
This blog is going to be about how I juggle my beloved little being and the relentless pull to create.

TikTok has emerged as a vibrant platform for creativity and connection, yet it also conceals a more sinister side, one that I, Harold, regrettably encountered firsthand. During a seemingly innocuous livestream, a convincing impersonator of former President Donald Trump promised viewers an extraordinary opportunity: send Bitcoin to a specific address, and he would double their investment. The allure of such an enticing offer, especially from a high-profile figure, was difficult to resist. As a retired educator, I had devoted considerable time to understanding Bitcoin and the intricacies of the cryptocurrency market. I prided myself on being cautious and well-informed, but the polished presentation and the charismatic delivery of the fake Trump caused me to lower my guard. I thought, “What if this is genuine?” In a moment of weakness, I made the fateful decision to send 8 Bitcoin valued at approximately $320,000 at the time to the address provided. The instant I hit send, a wave of trepidation washed over me. Panic set in as I realized I had fallen victim to a scam. The exhilaration I felt moments before transformed into disbelief and regret. How could I have been so naïve? I felt a tumult of anger and despair, questioning my judgment and the countless hours I had invested in comprehending cryptocurrency. I reached out to CHAINTRACE ASSET RECOVERY, a firm specializing in cryptocurrency recovery. CHAINTRACE ASSET RECOVERY meticulously analyzed the transaction and informed me that it was unshuffled, meaning it could be traced back to the original source. This revelation provided a glimmer of hope in an otherwise disheartening situation. CHAINTRACE ASSET RECOVERY worked diligently to track the transaction and identify the wallet associated with the scam. Their expertise in blockchain analysis was nothing short of impressive, and I felt a renewed sense of optimism as CHAINTRACE ASSET RECOVERY navigated the complexities of the cryptocurrency realm. After what felt like an eternity, CHAINTRACE ASSET RECOVERY successfully recovered my 8 Bitcoin, restoring my faith in the possibility of reclaiming lost assets. Scammers are becoming increasingly sophisticated, utilizing platforms like TikTok to ensnare unsuspecting victims. I now understand that if something appears too good to be true, it likely is. My story serves as a cautionary tale for others to remain informed and cautious, as the world of cryptocurrency can be both exhilarating and perilous. With the assistance of CHAINTRACE ASSET RECOVERY, I learned that it’s imperative when you approach such opportunities you verify first before investing. CHAINTRACE ASSET RECOVERY facilitated the recovery of my funds and also empowered me to share my ordeal to warn others about the lurking dangers of Crypto and the possibility for Recovery.
