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!

  • EFFECTIVE STEPS TO RECOVER FROM A CRYPTOCURRENCY SCAM DIGITAL TECH GUARD RECOVERY

    When I began searching for a new apartment I never imagined how quickly excitement could turn into heartbreak. After weeks of looking I came across what seemed like the perfect listing on Facebook Marketplace. The apartment looked incredibly bright and modern with a balcony and a city view. Best of all the rent was far below what similar places in the area were going for. It felt like I had finally found my dream home. The supposed landlord told me he was overseas for work and could not meet in person. He promised to secure the property if I sent a $5,500 deposit in cryptocurrency. At first I hesitated. The request seemed unusual but the listing looked so legitimate and I did not want to miss out. After convincing myself it was safe I transferred the funds. That was the moment everything collapsed. The landlord vanished, no responses, no calls , nothing. My excitement quickly turned into dread. After doing some digging I learned the photos had been stolen directly from a real estate website and the entire listing was fake. I was devastated. Not only had I lost a significant amount of money but my moving plans were left in shambles. In desperation I contacted Digital Tech Guard Recovery. From the start they treated my case with professionalism and genuine concern. They explained how they could track cryptocurrency across the blockchain and reassured me that there was still hope. Unlike others I had spoken to, they did not make me feel foolish for falling into a scam. Instead they gave me confidence and clarity when I needed it most. Their team immediately went to work tracing the stolen funds. To my amazement they managed to follow the trail and successfully recover every single dollar. The relief I felt when the money was returned is beyond words. Without Digital Tech Guard Recovery I would have been left with nothing but regret and a very painful lesson. Thanks to them not only were my funds restored but my moving plans were saved as well. This experience taught me to be far more cautious when dealing with online listings especially on platforms like Facebook Marketplace. I am incredibly grateful to Digital Tech Guard Recovery for turning what could have been a disaster into a story of hope and recovery. I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone who has fallen victim to an online scam. you can reach out to them on WhatsApp: +14438592886
