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!

  • I have been suffering from Herpes for the past 1 years and 8 months, and ever since then I have been taking series of treatment but there was no improvement until I came across testimonies of Dr. Silver on how he has been curing different people from different diseases all over the world, then I contacted him as well. After our conversation he sent me the medicine which I took according to his instructions. When I was done taking the herbal medicine I went for a medical checkup and to my greatest surprise I was cured from Herpes. My heart is so filled with joy. If you are suffering from Herpes or any other disease you can contact Dr. Silver today on this Email address: drsilverhealingtemple@gmail.com or Whatsapp +2348120513902

  • I want to share a cautionary tale with you. As someone who has experienced the devastating consequences of a cryptocurrency scam, I urge you to exercise extreme caution when dealing with digital currencies. I lost a significant amount of money ($125,900 to be exact) after being deceived by an online investment company. They promised me a high return on investment, but when I tried to withdraw my funds, they asked for more money, which only fueled my anxiety.

    That’s when I reached out to Softweartech, a reputable online recovery agent. I emailed their support team at softweartech5@gmail.com and received a prompt response. They took the time to listen to my situation and provided me with valuable guidance and support throughout the recovery process. Their transparency and integrity gave me confidence in their abilities, and I was thrilled to see my funds recovered.

    I want to emphasize that not all recovery services operate with the same level of professionalism and trust as Softweartech. If you find yourself in a similar situation, I highly recommend reaching out to them. You can contact them via email at softweartech5@gmail.com or WhatsApp at +4915510650010.

    Thank you for your time, and I hope this warning helps others avoid falling victim to similar scams.

  • I am thrilled to share that I recently received a call from Ty confirming that my final payment has been processed, bringing an end to the months of harassment I faced from a loan officer. I wanted to take this opportunity to express my heartfelt gratitude to each and every one of you for your exceptional service in helping me recover my funds.

Although I was initially hesitant and uncertain about the outcome, seeing the incredible work your team did for my friend in just a few days gave me great reassurance. Your expertise and dedication made all the difference in my financial situation, which was severely impacted by a poor investment decision in a crypto trading company.

    I was particularly impressed by the seamless communication and transparency throughout the process. Every question I had was answered with clarity and precision, which speaks volumes about your firm’s commitment to integrity. Your professionalism and dedication to your work are truly exceptional, and I am extremely pleased with the outcome.
