For stay-at-home mother Amy Hashim, running a gallery on the second floor of her house in Subang Jaya, Selangor was never the end goal.
After practising as a full-time artist for eight years and running Amy Hashim Art (AHA) Gallery for four years, the Kelantan-born painter felt it was high time the gallery expanded beyond her home.
So last October, together with her retired husband Azmi Tun Abdullah, Amy co-founded Art Realm Gallery (ARG) in Kuala Lumpur.
