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!

CERTIFIED CRYPTO RECOVERY SOLUTIONS, DIGITAL TECH GUARD RECOVERY
It was a rainy evening in 2023 when I first dipped my toes into cryptocurrency. I’d heard stories of overnight millionaires, so I invested $10,000 in Bitcoin and Ethereum through what seemed like a reputable exchange app. The interface was slick, promising high returns with AI-driven trades. Excited, I transferred funds from my bank, watching my portfolio grow virtually overnight—or so the app claimed. One day, I got an email from “support” urging me to verify my account to avoid suspension. It linked to a site that looked identical to the real one. In a rush, I entered my wallet keys and 2FA code. Hours later, my balance plummeted to zero. Panic set in as I realized I’d been phished in a sophisticated scam. Hackers had drained my wallet, transferring everything to anonymous addresses. I reported to the police, but they said crypto recovery was near impossible without experts. Devastated, I scoured forums and found mentions of Digital Tech Guard Recovery, a firm specializing in blockchain forensics. Skeptical but desperate, I contacted them via their site. Their team, led by a sharp analyst named Naomi, listened patiently. They explained how scams like mine used mixer services to launder funds, but with transaction tracing tools, recovery was feasible. We signed a no-win-no-fee agreement. Naomi’s crew analyzed the blockchain ledger, identifying the scam wallet’s trail. Using advanced software, they flagged suspicious transfers and collaborated with exchanges to freeze assets. It took weeks of back-and-forth, including legal affidavits to prove ownership. Miraculously, they recovered 80% of my funds—$8,000 wired back to my secure wallet. The rest was lost to fees and untraceable paths, but I was thrilled. Digital Tech Guard Recovery taught me about hardware wallets and red flags. Now, I’m wiser, investing cautiously, and forever grateful to them for turning my nightmare into a second chance. Moral: In crypto’s wild west, pros like them are your sheriff. Reach out to them on WhatsApp: +14438592886

I was locked out of my Ledger wallet after a firmware update and in an instant, years of crypto investments were out of reach. My recovery phrase wasn’t working, Ledger support was unresponsive, and every online ‘solution’ led nowhere. I genuinely thought I had lost everything.
Then I found SPYHOST CYBERSECURITY COMPANY and they changed everything. Their team immediately launched a firmware rollback protocol to restore the Ledger to a stable version. Then, using advanced memory snapshot analysis, they were able to extract fragments of cached seed data from previous device states which i didn’t even know was possible. Within 72 hours, my wallet was restored and every single coin was back in my control.
These aren’t just tech experts, they’re digital rescue specialists. If you’re locked out, hacked, or scammed, I highly recommend SPYHOST CYBERSECURITY COMPANY. They’re professional, fast, and absolutely the best in the game. Don’t waste time or risk more loss. Instead, get in touch with SPYHOST . They saved my crypto, and they can save yours too. They can be reached out to through their official E-mail address which is (Spyhost@cyberdude.com)
