The Reflection Gallery continues its quiet witness, providing thought-provoking artistic work and creating an atmosphere for quiet contemplation. We thank the Friends and visitors to the Gallery for their interest.
Displays in the gallery change periodically and have consisted of paintings, photography and mixed media presentations by Christian artists who are generously displaying expressions of their journey of faith through art.
The Reflection Gallery is open from 10am to 3pm daily.
The current display is Paintings by Barbara Willcocks
After a career of 39 years in Office Administration with a year’s diversion as a Patisserie proprietor, Barbara moved to the Sunshine Coast with her husband in 1998. She became interested in painting in 2008 after her husband died when she undertook a water-colour painting course using her husband’s now neglected paints.
She relished the experience of attempting to paint and seeing some improvement as she practiced the techniques delivered in the weekly workshops.
Although not an easy medium to begin with, Barbara was inspired to have a go and she now enjoys the challenge of painting mostly flowers and scenes from trips both at home and overseas.
In 2011 she became a member of the Blackall Range Visual Artists, a self-help art group, and their encouragement and critiques of her work have helped her to develop her own style.
Taking inspiration from God’s creations around her, she is both challenged and excited to paint images that express her impression of what she sees; enjoying the form which emerges of mostly the landscape and flowers, now in water-colour, acrylic and oil.
Thank you for your support. Please continue to pray for the Gallery and its outreach, for the people that visit it, for Barbara, the artist whose work is currently on display. Grace and peace to you.
