History of Gallery MIYA Art & Jewelry (2003 - 2011)
From 2003 to 2011, Mia and I ran an art gallery.
The gallery was named after her, but with a creative twist: Miya.
On this page, you'll find a brief overview of the gallery's exhibitions and artists, as well as an overview of the art fairs we participated in with the gallery.
The gallery's history is also, briefly, discussed in the book "End of the Season," the story of how Mia and I met, up to and including the day she passed away.
The gallery (and jewelry shop) were an important part of our lives. We had many wonderful encounters with artists. And as a result, we also had many lovely works of art in our home. All cherished memories.
Apologies for the incomplete information. PLEASE NOTE, I will add more data in the coming weeks...
