Life of an Artist in Rural Australia
NEW PRINT!!! 10% of the price you pay will go to Peter's Project (cancer charity)
Posted by Caroline Valpied on
In 2016 I painted an 18 x 4 foot painting of The Twelve Apostles for the Southwest Regional Cancer Centre in Warrnambool, which opened in July of that year. It was a project particularly close to my heart as my mother died of cancer in 2011. I will be eternally grateful for the excellent care she received during her illness and last weeks which was largely due to U.K. charities similar to Peter's Project here in Australia. As a small gesture, 10% ($9.50) of each print sale will be donated to Peter's Project. To buy a print, please click here....

The first day of my career as an artist…Daycare Day 1.
Posted by Caroline Valpied on
All parents are going to relate to this one…it’s the night before the big day, in our case DAYCARE DAY 1! Who wakes up at midnight and then DOES NOT GO TO SLEEP FOR 3 HOURS??? It was a perfect storm of bin night, husband on school camp and anxious mother.

On Being a Mother and an Artist
Posted by Caroline Valpied on
On juggling new motherhood and the relentless pull to create. P.S. A playpen in the studio garage is not the answer. :-/
