## Resource

Jenny Scown spent years as a magazine photographer in Auckland before moving back to the Waikato to have "country kids". She built a purpose-built gallery on the family farm outside Tamahere, near Hamilton, with views across to the Waikato River and Sanctuary Mountain, eight minutes from Cambridge. Perlina paid a visit to find out how you build a destination gallery in the middle of a paddock, and what nineteen years of backing emerging artists alongside established ones looks like.
