Montville Reflection Gallery We provide a quiet, reflective space for residents and visitors to rest, reflect and pray on the main street of Montville Q. Australia. Rev.

We share the Christian message of inspiration, hope and peace through the hospitality of the space. Ron Potter, the founder of the Reflection Gallery, envisaged “the Montville Uniting Church premises being used as the ongoing venue for art displays” as part of “the congregation’s Christian witness in the community” with “the building becoming widely known as a place of inspiration and hope”. We don’t know how many visitors have passed through the Gallery since its inception in 2017, but we do know that many of them have found the experience of visiting the Reflection Gallery to be just that: a source of inspiration, hope and peace. The messages in our Visitors’ Books attest to that. Here’s just a couple of examples:
"I am in a season of waiting and the words gave me comfort and reassurance. The paintings are beautiful!" "Your paintings and the accompanying messages are so thoughtful and inspiring. Thank you for sharing your talent and faith in the space." In 2024 and beyond, our aims remain to:
• provide a quiet, creative, reflective space for local residents and visitors to rest, ponder and pray;
• share the Christian message of inspiration, hope and peace through the hospitality of the space; and
• provide an exhibition space for artists working in a variety of faith-based contexts.

One of our regular exhibitors is currently exhibiting at St John's Anglican Cathedral in Brisbane: “My current Mercy exhibition in St John’s Cathedral brings together new works alongside a selection of older favourites. Throughout the paintings I created in 2026, lilies of the valley appear as a recurring motif symbolising compassion, renewal and mercy,” says award-winning local artist Olga Bakhtina

From now until 31 August, Wendy Jarrott-Smith invites you to Resist... Rest... Rhythm. Wendy writes: "Often in life, we just need to call ‘time out’ from life’s busy-ness and demands. After many years of work, people sometimes take a ‘Sabbatical’… an extended time away from paid work, to study, travel or pursue personal growth. It’s interesting that this word has its root in Christian Scripture, where we are called to take a Sabbath… a ‘day of rest’.
In my own life, I have come to understand that taking ‘time out’ often means ‘RESISTING the should-dos, have-tos, must-dos and demands of others… of intentionally setting aside time for REST… so that we can find again the unique RHYTHM of our life, and rediscover what we can bring as ‘gifts’ to our world. The paintings and photographs in this display all reference these themes.
My art is ‘conceptual’… an art of ‘words & pictures’. So, as you look at my paintings and photographs on display, please take the time to read the accompanying reflections, for they express the ‘soul’ of my work, and complement how I see the world through the lens of my camera, or at the tip of my paintbrush.
‘Conceptual art’ helps us to observe the ‘rub’ between the temporal and eternal worlds, through our human experiences. The Celtic Christians would describe this space between the temporal, material world and the eternal world, as a ‘thin place’, and it is in the ‘thin places’ in our lives, that we often see the hand of God.
I have found this to be true in my life. For that I am very thankful.
