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!

It is amazing how quickly Dr. Excellent brought my husband back to me.

I tried to be strong just for the kids but I could not control the pains that tormented my heart, my heart was filled with sorrows and pains because I was really in love with my husband. I have tried many options but he did not come back, until i met a friend that directed me to Dr. Excellent a spell caster, who helped me to bring back my husband after 11hours.

I never imagined I’d be the kind of person who would fall victim to a cryptocurrency scam I considered myself relatively tech-savvy I had been trading for over a year studied the basics of blockchain and used two-factor authentication on all my wallets But as I learned the hard way sometimes even caution isn’t enough My ordeal began when I came across what seemed like a legitimate investment opportunity on a social media platform The operation looked professional There was a well-designed website regular posts and what appeared to be a thriving community of investors I was initially skeptical so I started small Over time their communication and “returns” built my confidence Eventually I invested more—$240,000 worth of Ethereum and USDT across multiple transactions It wasn’t until I tried to withdraw some profits that things unraveled Suddenly all communication stopped The site went offline My wallet showed transfers to unknown addresses I never authorized The shock hit hard I felt angry at myself—ashamed even I contacted my bank and local authorities but there wasn’t much they could do since it involved decentralized crypto assets I filed a police report but I knew the chances of recovery were slim After a few days of emotional numbness and frantic research I began looking into cyber forensic services That’s when I heard about Bytephantom Cyber Recovery not from an ad or flashy promotion but through a community forum where others shared their experiences What caught my attention was the way people described the process slow methodical and based on actual evidence not empty promises Reaching out to Bytephantom was a leap of faith but at that point I had little to lose What stood out from the beginning was that they didn’t guarantee success They explained the technical complexity of tracing crypto assets through blockchain forensics the time it might take and what information I needed to provide wallet addresses transaction hashes correspondence with the scammers It wasn’t some automated fix—it was a real investigative process The next few weeks were emotionally taxing I had to relive the experience through emails and screenshots and answer a lot of questions from the team There were long periods of silence which tested my patience But every so often they would give me an update a lead they were following or a wallet they had traced movement to It was slow progress but it was real About two months in they informed me they had identified a chain of wallets linked to the scam Through collaboration with other cases and partnerships with certain crypto compliance organizations they managed to put a temporary freeze on a centralized exchange account holding part of the stolen funds After providing additional documentation and going through some verification steps I was shocked when I finally received a partial recovery nearly $150,000 Over the next few weeks they were able to assist with further recovery from smaller wallets that had previously seemed unreachable In total I recovered approximately $215,000 Not the full amount but far more than I ever expected Looking back I still carry the weight of the mistake But I also carry a lesson—on caution on the sophistication of online scams and on the reality of what recovery looks like Bytephantom didn’t wave a magic wand What they offered was transparency technical skill and steady support during a deeply stressful period in my life I share this not as an endorsement but as a testimony to the fact that even in a largely unregulated space like crypto there are still ways forward if you’re willing to be patient and work with the right people My case wasn’t easy and the result wasn’t perfect—but it was honest and it gave me a second chance I didn’t think I’d have

Good Morning!! My name is Justin Simporios from Canada. My daughter was unable to walk for several months after an accident that required her to have surgery. Because I haven’t won the Lotto I’ve been playing for so long, I haven’t been able to pay for the surgery. A friend online recommended Lord Meduza to me and he deserves a really, really big THANK YOU. This man chose to help me with a lottery spell and he gave me the precise numbers to play the Canada Lotto Max Lottery. After two weeks, I was proclaimed the winner of $80 MILLION DOLLARS. Now, my daughter will be able to walk once more after so much time as her surgery is now completely funded. My victory marks the biggest win for a single ticket in Lotto Max history in Canada. I still can’t believe it, Indeed there’s none like Lord Meduza. Although if you want your EX LOVER back, he can help you, so get in touch with him right now.

You may wonder how you ended up being a victim of a scam. It happens and till today it has been hard to accept that I have been a victim. If it happens to you, get yourself immediate help before you fall into depression or start having suicidal thoughts. Trust me when I tell you, it will not be easy if you will not get a chance to get help. If I had not come into contact with Intel Fox Recovery, my family will be giving a different story. I decided to invest in my son’s future by joining an online trading platform. What they showed me was really convincing not knowing this was all a scam. I started investing and since this was for my son’s future, I was not really in a hurry to make any withdrawals anytime soon. I invested with this group for almost 6 months and my savings were doing pretty well. I had invested 120,000 USD and, in my account, it showed that the money had doubled and this was a good investment. I had an emergency that needed cash and decided to withdraw a small amount and that is when my transactions were not going through. I contacted them immediately and told them about the situation and that is when they kept asking me to keep on investing and everything will be well. I kept on investing for a month and nothing changed. I didn’t know what to do or where to start. I kept to myself for almost 2 weeks without talking to anyone. It took me another one month to come to terms with what has happened to me. I contacted Intel Fox Recovery when I saw what someone who went through a similar situation and they did help me. You can reach out to them at intelfoxrecovery(at)mail(dot)com for assistance in problems related such as;
