Medika Gallery, Blyth, South Australia | |
| | | | | | | Description Medika Gallery is a fine art gallery, selling Australian glassware, pottery, crystal, prints, main line original and professional paintings by Australian artists, with the added attraction of resident wildlife artist, Ian Roberts painting in the attached studio. Ian is a painter of Australian birds and plants, and he is happy to provide directional maps to his 8,000 plant arboretum. It is from this plantation that he draws inspiration for his paintings, some 1,200 species of plants are represented in this collection.
A native garden adjoins the gallery and features native quandong or wild peach.
Medika Gallery was originally the St Petri Kirche Lutheran Church opened in 1886. The building is almost as old as Blyth itself (1860) and remains in sturdy condition, a tribute to our pioneers building expertise. Since closing in 1966, it has been resold several times and partly demolished, but the present owners have committed themselves to ensuring it remains an asset for Blyth and many hours have been spent restoring it to its present use.
The steeple built in 1889 remains the focal point of the church, and adds character and charm to its use as a gallery. |
