Sheree Warren

Sheree is originally from Auckland; however, her search for contentment in the mid-1990s led her to travel New Zealand. She fell in love with the rugged charm of the West Coast of the South Island. While walking the beaches, she found a small piece of pounamu and soon realised she had found what she was looking for—a medium with which she felt at one and which challenged her more than any other.

Sheree focuses her time on complex designs and commission pieces. In her words:

“Each piece of stone I work deserves huge respect, no matter what type it is. Created over thousands, sometimes millions of years—far beyond our lifespan—as a carver I recognise that once I work the stone, I become part of its journey and evolution through time. What I create will survive well beyond me and everyone else that joins the journey of owning one of my pieces. I feel so privileged to be able to express myself through stone.”
