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 can honestly say losing my bitcoin savings was one of the darkest moments of my life. I had put everything I could into that investment, believing it would secure my future, only to wake up one day and realize the platform had vanished with all my funds. The feeling was indescribable, fear, shame, and helplessness all at once. I thought I’d never see that money again. Then I came across Alpha Spy Nest. At first, I was hesitant, I had already been deceived once, and the thought of trusting anyone else terrified me. But something about their professionalism and the way they patiently explained things gave me a little hope. For the first time in weeks, I felt like I wasn’t completely alone in the fight. They listened to my story without judgment, broke down the technical side in a way I could understand, and reassured me that there was still a chance. Watching them work was incredible. They traced every transaction, uncovered where my bitcoin had been moved, and kept me updated through every stage. It felt like they cared as much about my recovery as I did. The day they told me they had successfully recovered my lost savings, I actually cried. Seeing those funds back in my wallet felt unreal, it was like a huge weight had been lifted off my shoulders. Beyond just recovering my bitcoin, Alpha Spy Nest gave me back my peace of mind and restored a trust I thought I had lost forever. I’m forever grateful to them. If I hadn’t found Alpha Spy Nest, I’d still be stuck in regret and despair. Instead, I now share my story as proof that recovery is possible.

  • Earlier this year, I lost $90,000 to a crypto investment scam. At first, it felt like a dream opportunity smooth talking “advisors,” polished platforms, and fake testimonials that made everything seem legitimate. I didn’t think I was the type to fall for something like that. But I did. And when the platform suddenly disappeared, so did all of my money. The days that followed were some of the hardest I’ve ever experienced. I felt ashamed, angry, and helpless. I reported the fraud, but everywhere I turned, I was told the same thing: crypto transactions are almost impossible to reverse. I started to accept that the money my savings, years of work was just gone. Then I came across Malice Cyber Recovery. I wasn’t optimistic, but I reached out anyway. They didn’t promise miracles, which I appreciated. Instead, they helped me piece together what happened transaction records, communications, and technical details I would’ve never gathered on my own. The process was slow and honestly exhausting at times, but they stayed with it. Months later, I got the message I never thought I would: a significant portion of the funds had been traced and recovered. I cried. It wasn’t just about the money it was about getting a piece of my life back, and proving to myself that I wasn’t completely powerless. I’m still more cautious than ever, and I’ll never look at online investments the same way. But I’m thankful I didn’t give up and even more thankful that someone out there knew how to help when I couldn’t help myself.

I reached out to him, and he promised to bring my fiancé back to me within 72 hours. After following his instructions, my fiancé surprisingly showed up at my doorstep, apologized, and now we’re living happily together again.
