Internationally acclaimed artist Min Kim<br />
has movedher Bryce Gallery from its<br />
former busy location in Riccarton to a<br />
tranquil place at her new home in Ohoka.<br />
Min decidedtomake the move withher<br />
husband, landscape artist Jaimie<br />
Stewart, last year after losing her ‘‘inner<br />
peace’’and becoming ill.<br />
‘‘My immune systemwas broken from<br />
too much hard work and Irealised I<br />
needed abetter space,’’ she said.<br />
The couple began searching for anew<br />
property lastChristmas and found a<br />
magicalplace at Ohoka,wherepeople<br />
have been ‘‘welcoming and friendly.’’<br />
At first, she worried thatifthey moved<br />
from the central city theymightlose<br />
visitornumbers. Thathasn’t happened.<br />
People havesaid theylove visiting the<br />
new gallery, set in the peaceful parklike<br />
surrounds, and have been positiveabout<br />
the initiative.<br />
‘‘New clients, old clients, they love it<br />
here and want to comeback. Iwant to<br />
create thatkind of spacewhereyou feel<br />
like you are visiting afriend.<br />
‘‘Art should be an emotional<br />
experience.’’<br />
At the new gallery,where ‘‘90 percent<br />
of the houseisgallery and 10% is home’’,<br />
visitors can relax, enjoy the peaceful<br />
settingand the beautiful way the art has<br />
been displayed in the house and garden.<br />
‘‘This is not just acommercial<br />
enterprise.Iwant people to appreciate<br />
their own time, their specialtime here.’’<br />
The art of morethan 45 of New<br />
Zealand’s emerging, established and<br />
leadingartists, including Min and Jaimie,<br />
is on displayfor saleinthe new gallery,<br />
which opened on <strong>February</strong> 1.<br />
