about kereru
Kereru Gallery features the work of established artist Karen Walters and acclaimed jeweller Mike Walters and exhibits work from a ‘hand picked’ selection of exquisitely talented NZ artists whom they represent throughout the year.
The gallery is recognised for its contemporary earthy flavour and uniquely exudes this theme through a diverse range of work on display. Sculptures, jewellery, paintings, ceramics and cast glass can be viewed here within an elongated modern white gallery space situated beneath the upper living quarters of Mike and Karen Walters and nestled to the outer side of the quirky and picturesque Mapua Wharf.
It functions as both a gallery and workshop space. The gallery opens up to 3 exhibition spaces and also contains both a jewellers workshop and sculptors workshop on site that can be viewed by the public.
