Quiet Tides by Christine Kende is a one-of-a-kind gel plate monotype capturing two shorebirds standing at the water’s edge in a softly rendered coastal scene. The composition is built in layered grayscale tones with a subtle wash of warm light reflected across the wet sand, creating a calm, atmospheric presence.
 
This monotype blends minimal coastal imagery with a gentle sense of movement and reflection, appealing to collectors drawn to shoreline artwork, bird imagery, and serene, understated palettes. Its quiet balance and softened detail make it an easy, sophisticated addition to both contemporary and coastal interiors.
