Art makes a perfect gift, because choosing the work for a friend or family member is a such a personal way to show how much they mean to you.  Receiving a unique piece of art will make the recipient feel very special, and there will be a shared memory every time that person looks at their painting or sculpture.

August heralds the arrival of two new exciting artists at Montville Art Gallery. Bruce Buchanan, a world-class water-colourist with superbly detailed and evocative boat scenes, landscapes and man-made structures, reflecting his previous experience as an architect.

Steve Tyerman has bought in his new collection of native wildlife, viewed from his home in the hinterland. Small in scale but with huge impact, these thick impasto works have a character and vitality like no other, and are typical of Steve’s style.
