Karen Weekes’s lifelong career was as a Primary school teacher with a major focus on all things creative.
This encouraged her to earn a degree in Expressive and Performing Arts and dual certificates in Ceramics at TAFE.
30 years ago her love of the Central Coast prompted her to buy a house at The Entrance where her family had holidayed since 1938.
An interest in fashion provided inspiration to design unique jewellery featuring freshwater pearls and semi precious stones which was available at the Gallery shop for many years.
This latest collection was inspired by the unique beauty of the sea.
Created with freshwater pearls with gold and silver plated features they are a timeless reminder of the oceans wonders.
