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!

  • HOW TO FIND A LEGITIMATE CRYPTO RECOVERY EXPERT/BYTE PHANTOM CYBER RECOVERY:
    In 2023, I experienced something I never thought would happen to me—my cryptocurrency wallet was hacked. I had been investing in crypto for a few years and took what I believed were all the right precautions. But one moment of carelessness—clicking a fake browser extension update—was all it took. Within minutes, my wallet was emptied of nearly $85,000 worth of crypto, including ETH, USDT, and some smaller tokens. At first, I was in shock. Then came the panic and anger. I filed reports with the exchange, contacted the wallet provider, and even reported the incident to the local cybercrime unit, but I quickly realized that none of them could actually do anything to help track or recover what had been stolen. Everything I read online said the same thing: once crypto is gone, it’s almost impossible to get it back. During one of my long nights searching for solutions, I came across a mention of BytePhantom Cyber Recovery in an online forum. I wasn’t looking for a miracle—just someone who might be able to trace what happened and give me some kind of answer. I decided to reach out to them. They didn’t make any bold promises or guarantees, which I appreciated. Instead, they asked for all the relevant details—wallet addresses, transactions, the timeline of events—and told me they’d take a look. What followed was a few weeks of careful investigation on their part. They traced the stolen funds across multiple transactions and helped identify how the hackers had moved them through various wallets and services. I stayed in the loop throughout the process. The communication was professional and respectful, and they explained things in a way I could understand, even though I’m not a technical expert. Eventually, they were able to recover a significant portion of my stolen assets—around 60%—by intercepting part of the funds before they were laundered further. I can’t say everything went back to normal. I still lost money, and I’ve become much more cautious since the incident. But what BytePhantom did for me was give me a level of closure I didn’t expect. They recovered more than I thought was possible, and more importantly, they took the time to walk me through how to avoid something like this in the future. It wasn’t a perfect outcome, but it was an honest one. I’m grateful for the help, and I hope others who’ve experienced crypto theft know that there are at least a few people out there who are trying to fight back.

  • God bless Capital Crypto Recover Services for the marvelous work you did in my life, I have learned the hard way that even the most sensible investors can fall victim to scams. When my USD was stolen, for anyone who has fallen victim to one of the bitcoin binary investment scams that are currently ongoing, I felt betrayal and upset. But then I was reading a post on site when I saw a testimony of Wendy Taylor online who recommended that Capital Crypto Recovery has helped her recover scammed funds within 24 hours. after reaching out to this cyber security firm that was able to help me recover my stolen digital assets and bitcoin. I’m genuinely blown away by their amazing service and professionalism. I never imagined I’d be able to get my money back until I complained to Capital Crypto Recovery Services about my difficulties and gave all of the necessary paperwork. I was astounded that it took them 12 hours to reclaim my stolen money back. Without a doubt, my USDT assets were successfully recovered from the scam platform, Thank you so much Sir, I strongly recommend Capital Crypto Recover for any of your bitcoin recovery, digital funds recovery, hacking, and cybersecurity concerns.

  • My Cryptocurrency Was Stolen – How FASTFUND RECOVERY Saved Me.

    My name is Victoria Smith from New York, and I want to share my experience in hopes it helps someone going through the same nightmare I went through.
    A few months ago, I lost access to my cryptocurrency wallet after falling victim to a sophisticated scam. In a matter of hours, over $650,000 worth of crypto vanished. I was devastated. I reported the case to my exchange and even filed a complaint with the authorities, but there was little progress. It felt like everything I had worked hard for was gone.
    While searching online for possible solutions, I came across FASTFUND RECOVERY. Something about their approach gave me confidence, so I decided to take a chance. From the very first conversation, they were reassuring and extremely knowledgeable about blockchain investigations and asset recovery.
    They immediately got to work, tracking the movement of my stolen funds across multiple wallets. To my surprise, within a few weeks, they successfully traced and recovered my cryptocurrency. When I finally saw my assets restored, I was beyond relieved—it felt like a miracle.
    Thanks to FASTFUND RECOVERY, I got my life back. If you’ve lost crypto to fraud or hacking, don’t give up hope. Contact them. Gmail: Fastfundrecovery8 @ gmail com. W/app: 1 (807)500-7554
    To get your funds back like I did.

    Victoria Smith.
