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 I Recovered My Stolen Bitcoin of $580,600 with the Help of Wizard George Cyber Service

    My name is Melissa Reed, a Nurse Anesthetist with over 20 years of experience, based in Austin, Texas. I’ve spent my entire career taking care of others, but nothing prepared me for the emotional and financial trauma I experienced when I fell victim to an online cryptocurrency investment scam.
    I was lured in by what seemed like a legitimate opportunity high returns, strong testimonials, and professional-looking platforms. I invested over $580,600 worth of Bitcoin, my life savings and retirement funds. Within weeks, the entire platform disappeared, and so did my funds. I was devastated and ashamed. After extensive research and hesitation, I reached out to Wizard George Cyber Service and that was the turning point.
    From day one, their team treated me with compassion and professionalism. They explained the process, investigated the scam thoroughly, and used advanced blockchain tracing techniques to locate my stolen funds. They kept me updated every step of the way, and within a few weeks, they successfully recovered the full amount.
    Their expertise, transparency, and genuine concern for victims like me made all the difference. I cannot express how grateful I am for their service. If you’ve been scammed, please don’t suffer in silence Wizard George Cyber Service is the real deal.

  • “I found myself in the same situation as other victims who had placed their hard-earned money into an investment scheme, expecting significant returns, only to be told to keep contributing without any benefits. I initially put $250,000 into this venture over a week with my broker. The promised bonus/profit was $480,000, but every time I tried to withdraw, I was met with failure and was told to deposit another $250,000 before I could access my money, which I did. Two days later, I could still withdraw, and all my effort seems abortive. I attempts to reach the broker were unsuccessful. I consider myself incredibly fortunate to have managed to recover my funds from these fraudulent Binary option brokers. The specialist who helped me retrieve my money was exceptional in his assistance. I was on the verge of giving up, but I am grateful to Recovery Hacker101 for their excellent work. If you find yourself in a similar situation, I highly recommend reaching out to Recovery Hacker101, via their email at: recoveryhacker101 @ gmail com

  • I used to struggle badly as a farmer barely surviving, buried in debt, and losing all hope. One night, I came across testimonies online about a man named Lord Bubuza who helps people win the lottery. I reached out to him. He guided me, performed a lottery spell, and gave me specific numbers to play. I used them to buy a ticket and two days later, I couldn’t believe it. I had won $5.1 million. I just stared at the screen in shock. From being broke and hopeless to becoming a millionaire overnight. Thanks to Lord Bubuza, I’ve cleared all my debts, bought more farmland, and secured my family’s future. I’m so thankful for what he did for me. If you’re in a tough place, he can help you too. You can contact him on WhatsApp at +1 365 808 5313 or email: lordbubuzamiraclework@hotmail.com ..!
