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!

  • DIGITAL TECH GUARD RECOVERY, TECH-SOLUTIONS RECOVERY COMPANY

    One morning I was checking my Twitter feed when I came across a tweet from a verified crypto project I had followed for months. The tweet announced a limited airdrop event for loyal supporters. It looked completely legit the branding matched previous posts the language was familiar and even the replies were filled with users claiming they had successfully received their tokens. It seemed like a genuine opportunity. All I had to do was connect my wallet and sign a smart contract to receive the reward. Trusting what I saw I connected my Meta Mask wallet and signed the contract. Within seconds my ETH balance dropped to zero. Just like that more than 9200 dollars was drained from my wallet. I was stunned. I refreshed my screen several times hoping it was some kind of glitch but the ETH was gone. When I went back to the tweet it had already been deleted. That is when the awful truth hit me. The account had been compromised. The tweet was not from the real team it was part of a phishing scam using a fake smart contract designed to steal from anyone who signed it. I felt completely helpless. Unlike a mistaken transaction signing a malicious smart contract is permanent. The thief had full control. There was no undo button. I started scouring crypto forums Reddit and Telegram channels trying to figure out what I could do. That is when I kept seeing one name come up repeatedly Digital Tech Guard Recovery. I contacted them without high hopes. But to my surprise I received a call from their team the very next day. The specialist I spoke to was calm knowledgeable and explained everything in a way I could understand. They told me exactly how the attack worked and what they would do to trace and recover the funds. Digital Tech Guard Recovery launched a full investigation. Within a matter of days they were able to follow the stolen ETH across obfuscation tools mixing services and exchanges. Despite how complicated it was they recovered 90 percent of my stolen funds. I was shocked and incredibly grateful. Digital Tech Guard Recovery did not just get my money back. I will never blindly trust links on social media again but if anything goes wrong in the crypto world Digital Tech Guard Recovery are the first team I will turn to. you can reach out to them on WhatsApp : +14438592886

  • Bitcoin trading scam on dating sites Review // Passcode Cyber Recovery

    My name is Annabel Wiils from Canada! Life hasn’t been easy but I’ve done everything I can to raise my two boys right after losing my husband. Being a single mother is the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do but I’ve taken it one day at a time determined to give them a good life. After years of focusing only on them I finally felt ready to put myself out there again and try dating. I joined a dating app and quickly connected with a man who seemed thoughtful, sincere and financially intelligent. He told me he was involved in Bitcoin trading and had done well for herself. More than that he said he wanted to help me build a better future for my kids. I’ll admit I was touched. He said all the right things. Over the next few weeks we talked constantly. He never pushed, just encouraged me and gave small pieces of financial advice. Eventually she told me about a private trading pool his team used. It was supposedly low risk with high return. He even showed me screenshots of his growing profits. I wanted to believe him. I wanted to believe in something again. So I did it. I transferred 2 Bitcoin to the wallet address he gave me. The next morning he disappeared. His profile was gone. All of our messages were deleted. My Bitcoin was gone too. I felt absolutely crushed. For days I couldn’t sleep. I blamed myself for falling for it. I didn’t even want to tell anyone what had happened until a coworker noticed I wasn’t myself. When I finally told him he said one name: Passcode Cyber Recovery. I contacted Passcode Cyber Recovery without much hope but they surprised me. From the first call they treated me with respect and urgency. Their investigators trace the scammer’s wallet and they freeze assets. Two weeks later they recovered 1.3 BTC. No it wasn’t everything. But it was enough to restore my faith. More importantly, someone fought for me. I wasn’t just another online victim, I was a mother trying to do the right thing. I didn’t find love. But I found justice and a way forward for my boys. I’ll always be grateful.
