With a background as an art critic, curator and lecturer, Anna Miles opened her gallery in 2003 having decided it would be more productive to be a champion than a critic. For 11 years the gallery was located in a beautiful room in Peter Beaven’s 1965-1967 Canterbury Arcade Building on High Street. In March 2015, she re-opened uptown at 10/30 Upper Queen Street in a space with a vantage over one of Auckland’s most historic and leafy spaces, the Symonds Street Cemetery. Like art, she believes a gallery should take you somewhere unexpected and thrilling.
Anna also believes a gallery is a point-of-view business, an advocate for individuals who cannot be restrained from doing what they do, and her gallery represents jewellers, ceramic artists and a weaver alongside painters and photographers. In Anna’s words “It’s not so much what they do, but how they do it that continues to excite me”.

Parnell
Parnell lies on the fringe of Auckland CBD, and is often cited as Auckland’s first suburb. Quite the claim in a city that now exceeds sixty ‘burbs. The history is evident in the historical architecture found within the neighbourhood; a visit to the Kinder House or Hulme Court offers a small window into the past.
Parnell - in recent years - has emerged as a home for bespoke dining experiences, excellent coffee, enviable boutique shopping and a precinct reminiscent of downtown New York. Shaking off its once prim and proper image. The concentration of dealer galleries in the area make it a go-to destination for Aucklanders on a mission to find coveted artwork.
Parnell is surprisingly green for its proximity to the city. Naturally blessed with a plethora of gardens and reserves; The Domain with its curiously charming Winter Gardens and inimitable Auckland Museum give the suburb a distinctive perimeter unlike any other.
