Kereru Gallery is the working home of two artists, sculptor Karen Walters and jeweller Mike Walters, set in native bush at Sandspit on the Rodney coast, about 45 minutes north of Auckland. The site has a separate gallery space that shows the couple's current work, and their workshops stand alongside it, so visitors can see where the pieces are made.
Karen sculpts in bronze and native timber, and uses lost wax casting for her bronze pieces. Mike makes one-off, hand-made jewellery in silver and platinum. Both take commissions. The website says a commission's design and scale are shown before work begins, and that the process can be handled remotely or in person. The gallery can also pack and freight work across New Zealand and overseas. Before moving to Sandspit in 2021, the pair ran a gallery in Mapua, near Nelson, for ten years.
