SEA CHANGE - The story behind the exhibition - APRIL 2021!

Posted by Caroline Valpied on

In January 2020, after a full year of painting and planning, I held my second solo exhibition and that's where I met the talented Tim Freeman. Tim paints landscapes, but while mine could be described as fairly classical, Tim reduces the landscape to flat shapes creating striking, modern artworks. I love his work! 

We followed each other on social media for the next 6 months or so and as I flew into full flung panic over COVID-19 and what it would do to my art business, I asked him to consider a joint exhibition with me. Good idea. Scheduled for April 2021...with Nov-Jan being my busiest time of year. Maybe not such a good idea!

Like all things though (when you put in the effort), it's working out. I scheduled myself to paint one painting a week from 1st Jan to end of February. Done. It's quite stressful working this way, but I've always been good with deadlines. So 8 paintings plus 2 small ones from 2020. Tim will show ten too.

 

If you're wondering how I work with a three year old...the short answer is - I don't. He's in daycare a couple of days a week and in kinder some mornings. I paint during those hours.

And where I paint...well, you won't see any pictures of that! I paint at the end of our garage, shifting my chair to avoid the whipper snipper, sniffing the delicious aromas of damp cut grass from the lawnmower, turning up the music to drown out the hum from the beer fridge! 

But I LOVE IT! I love all of it...taking photos out and about, getting excited about them in front of the canvas, promoting my work on social media, talking to kind people at the summer markets, sitting in my space in the garage, mixing colours, making magic. Don't get me wrong, there is a point in every painting where I get stuck, don't know where it's going...and running your own business is HARD, but it's all worth it and I do know how lucky I am.

So thanks Tim for agreeing to this exhibition, and like me, creating your paintings in record time.

Thanks everyone for supporting us artists as we bring more beauty into this world.

I hope you can come to our exhibition!

  • I still vividly remember the moment my screen suddenly went black. For months, I had been trading Bitcoin on a seemingly legitimate online trading platform. The interface was clean and beautiful, the charts updated in real time, and customer service was responsive, at least initially. My confidence grew daily, and my investment increased accordingly. That night, when I checked my wallet balance, I found my Bitcoin was worth $187,000.However, everything changed. One login failure, then another. The customer service chat window disappeared, and the website went offline. Just like that, my Bitcoin wallet and the platform vanished. I suddenly realized: I hadn’t just lost access; I had fallen into an elaborate scam on an online trading platform designed to drain users’ wallets. My wallet address still existed on the blockchain, and the transaction records I had no control over seemed to mock me. I was consumed by self-blame. I replayed every decision, every transfer, every moment I ignored my inner doubts. It was then, in a desperate search late at night, that I discovered the name Dexdert Net Pro Recovery. The whole process began with a series of questions. Very detailed questions: wallet address, transaction hashes, timeline, and proof of platform interaction. There were no guarantees. Only an investigation. Behind this story, the recovery operation unfolded like a digital detective’s investigation. Then, I received an unexpected message: the Bitcoin had been successfully recovered. Wallet access had been restored. I logged into the secure wallet they had helped me rebuild. My Bitcoin is worth $187,000. Back in my control. I breathed a sigh of relief. This loss taught me caution, this recovery taught me resilience. This experience will forever remind me: in the digital world, trust must be earned and verified, never taken for granted.

  • “In the crypto world, this is great news I want to share. Last year, I fell victim to a scam disguised as a safe investment option. I have invested in crypto trading platforms for about 10yrs thinking I was ensuring myself a retirement income, only to find that all my assets were either frozen, I believed my assets were secure — until I discovered that my BTC funds had been frozen and withdrawals were impossible. It was a devastating moment when I realized I had been scammed, and I thought my Bitcoin was gone forever, Everything changed when a close friend recommended the Capital Crypto Recover Service. Their professionalism, expertise, and dedication enabled me to recover my lost Bitcoin funds back — more than €560.000 DEM to my BTC wallet.

  • How I Healed from Herpes Simplex Virus with Holistic Herbal Remedies

    The greatest joy in my life today is that I have been completely healed from Herpes, thanks to holistic herbal remedies.

    In 2023, I was diagnosed with the Herpes Simplex Virus. I visited numerous hospitals seeking a cure, but nothing worked. I felt hopeless and frustrated, wondering if I would ever find a solution. Then, one day while browsing the internet, I came across a testimonial about how holistic herbal remedies had helped others heal from Herpes and various other diseases.

    Intrigued, I reached out to the person who had shared their experience and contacted the herbalist via WhatsApp. He assured me that he could prepare a special herbal medicine for my condition. Two weeks later, after following his guidance and taking the herbal remedy, my Herpes symptoms had completely vanished.

    Holistic herbal remedies are widely recognized for their effectiveness, and I want to share this hope with others. If you’re suffering from Herpes or any other similar health issue, know that there is a cure. The herbal medicine has no side effects, and there is no special diet required during treatment.

    In addition to Herpes, the herbalist also helps cure a range of conditions, including ALS, cancer, HPV, diabetes, and more.
