Dr. Katia Strounina, a scientist and artist, anchors her creative spirit in the tranquil waters of Redland Bay. Her art, a symphony of mediums, is a testament to her insatiable curiosity. Oils swirl, watercolors weep, pencil lines whisper secrets, and sculpted creatures stand as silent witnesses.

However, it is the “WINDSWEPT” collection, a pilgrimage across Europe, that truly captures the essence of her journey. 22 Cities, six countries, a kaleidoscope of experiences distilled into art. The island of Belle Ile en Mer, where the spirit of John Russel, the Australian Impressionist, still lingers, becomes a pivotal moment, a confluence of past and present. Katia’s work is a dialogue between the seen and the unseen, a conversation sparked by the unexpected, where landscapes are reimagined through the lens of abstract thought and playful allegory.

Windswept be on show in the upstairs Studio Gallery from Friday, 28th of March to Friday, 2nd of May, 2025.

On Saturday, 29th of March, from 11am-2pm, there will also be a small opening that we welcome people to attend.

**Please note** The exhibition and opening are in the Studio Gallery which is only accessible by a flight of stairs and is not wheelchair accessible.
