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!

  • BEST CRYPTOCURRENCY RECOVERY COMPANY CONTACT DIGITAL TECH GUARD RECOVERY

    I was one of those players captivated by the enticing world of “provably fair” crypto casinos, lured by the promise of transparency and fairness in gaming. With a mix of excitement and optimism, I deposited $15,000 into a well-promoted crypto casino, eager to immerse myself in the thrill of online gambling. Initially, the experience was electrifying. I won big, savoring the adrenaline rush that accompanied every spin and wager. The platform’s sleek interface and blockchain-backed fairness features seemed to reinforce its legitimacy, heightening my trust in the system. For a while, everything seemed legitimate. I had even been able to withdraw some amounts without issue, which helped solidify my confidence in the platform. But then one day, when I attempted a larger withdrawal, the system began displaying vague error messages. I tried again with the same result. Confused, I reached out to the support team. I was met with demands for excessive and seemingly unnecessary verification. The support team insisted on additional documents, citing vague policies and unclear security concerns. Their responses felt evasive, and as days turned into weeks, my funds remained inaccessible. A growing sense of anxiety and betrayal began to set in. Determined not to become just another silent victim, I searched for help. That is when I discovered Digital Tech Guard Recovery, a team specializing in auditing crypto casinos and recovering funds for players defrauded by unethical platforms. They conducted a meticulous audit of the casino’s smart contract and what they found was shocking. The contract was coded to quietly block withdrawals once players reached a certain profit threshold. It was a built-in trap that contradicted everything the casino claimed about fairness. Digital Tech Guard Recovery launched an investigation and successfully tracked down the people behind the operation. Their persistence and expertise were invaluable. In the end, I was able to recover $14,500 of my original deposit, something I had almost given up hope on. What I went through served as a powerful lesson. The crypto gaming space is full of hidden risks, and not every platform is as trustworthy as it claims. Careful research and seek support from Digital Tech Guard Recovery if fallen into Cryptocurrency Fraud.

  • CRYPTO SCAM RECOVERY SUCCESSFUL – A TESTIMONIAL OF LOST PASSWORD TO YOUR DIGITAL WALLET BACK.

    My name is Robert Alfred, Am from Australia. I’m sharing my experience in the hope that it helps others who have been victims of crypto scams. A few months ago, I fell victim to a fraudulent crypto investment scheme linked to a broker company. I had invested heavily during a time when Bitcoin prices were rising, thinking it was a good opportunity. Unfortunately, I was scammed out of $120,000 AUD and the broker denied me access to my digital wallet and assets. It was a devastating experience that caused many sleepless nights. Crypto scams are increasingly common and often involve fake trading platforms, phishing attacks, and misleading investment opportunities. In my desperation, a friend from the crypto community recommended Capital Crypto Recovery Service, known for helping victims recover lost or stolen funds. After doing some research and reading multiple positive reviews, I reached out to Capital Crypto Recovery. I provided all the necessary information—wallet addresses, transaction history, and communication logs. Their expert team responded immediately and began investigating. Using advanced blockchain tracking techniques, they were able to trace the stolen Dogecoin, identify the scammer’s wallet, and coordinate with relevant authorities to freeze the funds before they could be moved. Incredibly, within 24 hours, Capital Crypto Recovery successfully recovered the majority of my stolen crypto assets. I was beyond relieved and truly grateful. Their professionalism, transparency, and constant communication throughout the process gave me hope during a very difficult time. If you’ve been a victim of a crypto scam, I highly recommend them with full confidence contacting:
