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!

  • SEARCHING FOR THE BEST CRYPTO RECOVERY HACKERS VISIT DIGITAL TECH GUARD RECOVERY

    Living off a modest pension as a retired Army veteran I never thought I would become the victim of a cryptocurrency scam. I spent my life serving with honor and believed in duty loyalty and trust. So when a man contacted me claiming to work for a military-affiliated financial service offering a secure Bitcoin investment program to upgrade my pension I believed him. He spoke with confidence and used military terms that made the whole thing sound legitimate. He said it was part of a government-supported initiative to help veterans boost their retirement income through crypto. The website looked professional with military emblems and links that appeared to connect to official agencies. It felt familiar and trustworthy. After several conversations and what I believed were security verifications I made the decision to transfer 2.4 BTC to enroll in the program. I genuinely thought I was doing the right thing for my future. But not long after everything disappeared. The website was gone the phone number stopped working and no one replied to my emails. That was when I realized I had been scammed. I felt humiliated and deeply disappointed. Someone had used my identity as a veteran to deceive me. My daughter saw how it affected me and stepped in to help. She did some research and found a team called Digital Tech Guard Recovery. At first I was unsure but she encouraged me to reach out. From the moment I contacted them they took me seriously. They were professional respectful and acted fast. They started by tracking the movement of the stolen Bitcoin through blockchain forensics. Within a short period they managed to trace and recover all the stolen BTC. I could hardly believe it. I had already accepted the loss but they brought everything back. They kept me informed at every step and treated me with dignity. They never made me feel foolish for trusting the wrong person. This cryptocurrency scam tried to take advantage of my service and steal what little I had but Digital Tech Guard Recovery turned the situation around. They gave me more than my money back. They gave me back my peace of mind. Digital Tech Guard Recovery honored me more than the scammer ever did. They reminded me that even in the digital world there are still people who stand for something real. you can reach out to them on WhatsApp: +1 (443) 859 – 2886

  • hello everyone, I am Robia Hayes from Texas, USA. I want to share a testimony of how Dr. Harry’s herbal mixture cream saves me from shame and disgrace, my penis was a big problem to me as the size was really so embarrassing,and I was also having a weak erection problem. I can make love to my wife and my penis was just too small. A full grown man like me has a 4 inches penis and to worsen it i don’t last in sex i cant even last two minutes. It was really a thing of shame to me. My wife was really tired of me because my sex life was very poor,she never enjoyed sex,i was always thinking and searching for solutions everywhere until when i saw a testimony of Dr. Harry. herbal mixture cream has been helping people regarding their sex life, so i decided to give him  a try and visited his website  https://drharrysolutionhea.wixsite.com/healinghome   and to my greatest surprise in less than two weeks of taking the herbs my penis grew to 8 inches. I couldn’t believe my eyes and as i speak now my penis is now 11 inches and i do not have a weak erection again. I can make love to my wife longer in bed. And my marriage is now stable,my wife now enjoys me very well in bed. EX LOVER BACK/BOYFRIEND/HUSBAND/WIFE/GIRLFRIEND PREMATURE EJACULATION LOW SPERM COUNT ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION HIV/AIDS CURE HERPES CURE INFECTION CURE PILE STROKE HEART FAILURE CANCER

  • Running a boutique design studio in California has always been an exhilarating and rewarding endeavor. Recently I decided to modernize my payment options by accepting cryptocurrency to provide clients with greater flexibility and embrace the digital future. Things were progressing seamlessly until a new client proposed to pay through what they described as a faster and more secure payment processor. They even shared a sleek professional looking link which gave me confidence to proceed. I clicked the link registered an account and was promptly greeted by a confirmation indicating a $60,000 payment for the project. At first I was ecstatic but that elation quickly gave way to dread when the funds never appeared in my wallet. To my horror I realized my own assets had been siphoned off after unknowingly signing a malicious smart contract cleverly concealed within the process. It felt as though everything I had painstakingly built was unraveling my studio’s financial stability, my professional reputation and my personal sense of security all hanging in the balance. I reached out to RAPID DIGITAL RECOVERY. Their team immediately identified the sophisticated nature of the scam and sprang into action.
