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!

My name is Martha, and I never thought I’d be the victim of a crypto scam, but life has a way of humbling you. A few months ago, I invested a huge chunk of my savings, decades of hard-earned money into what seemed like a promising crypto platform. The slick website, glowing testimonials, and a charming advisor convinced me to transfer 15 Bitcoin, into their wallet. Days later, the platform vanished, my funds were gone, and I was left with nothing but regret. Desperate, I turned to the internet, scouring forums and posts on X for help. That’s when I stumbled across Alpha Spy Nest, a shadowy group of cyber-recovery experts specializing in crypto fraud. Their reputation was murky but promising whispers of successful recoveries and a no-nonsense approach. I reached out through their encrypted portal, half-expecting a scam. Within hours, they responded, asking for details: transaction IDs, wallet addresses, and screenshots of my interactions with the scammers. Alpha Spy Nest operated in the dark corners of the web, using a mix of blockchain forensics, social engineering, and unconventional methods to track lost crypto. They traced my Bitcoin to a series of obfuscated wallets, likely controlled by an offshore syndicate. The team deployed advanced chain-analysis tools to follow the funds, pinpointing a weak link in the scammers’ network, a poorly secured exchange account in Eastern Europe.Over weeks, Alpha Spy Nest worked tirelessly, infiltrating the scammers’ digital trails. And then i received a message, we’ve got a lead. They’d recovered 12 of my 15 Bitcoin, transferred to a secure wallet they set up for me. The rest, they said, was likely gone forever, but I was overjoyed. My savings were partially restored, and I felt a weight lift. I never met them, but they gave me, back hope and a lesson, the crypto world is a jungle, but sometimes, even in the dark, there are allies.
