Pearse founded her brand in 1981, blending a passion for natural stone and design with a lifetime of experience in the world of stone and architecture. Pearse’s father, an industry entrepreneur, instilled in her a love and intuitive understanding of stone, while her grandfather, a renowned painter, taught her to see the world through the eyes of an artist. Author of the Rizzoli book, “Splendor of Marble” ― a collection of the most extraordinary marble interiors by the great talents of architecture and design today ― Pearse sees stone as an art form with endless possibilities. The Karen Pearse brand is a proud, women-owned company.
