Tidal Wave Gallery

Located in the centre of the City, Tidal Wave is a friendly gallery with an exceptional range of work from local, national and international artists.  It offers a blend of styles both modern and traditional and is host to work from a number of local artists including Katrina Stephens, who specialises in Chinese Brush Painting. 


 My fascination in the unique and ancient art of Chinese Brush Painting began 15 years ago The nature of the brushes and the way the paper, paints and ink worked together was totally different to western art, which I found intriguing.  From self taught beginnings I have since sort out mentors to develop my style and technique. Whether translating faded ancient masterpieces into more contemporary style, or adapting from subjects in nature, the end result is always about capturing of the spirit or chi of the object, so is always unique to the eye of the painter.The versatility of this medium lends itself equally to the calm fluidity of landscapes and flowers and to the vitality of bird subjects.   My work is available as original brush painting, limited edition prints and greeting cards.For those who would like to learn this unique and art form of painting, I run  one day workshops in the area.
