Khara Ledonne, an artist from the United States, has a rich biography: after college, she moved to New York and worked in a wine bar, a school, a pizzeria and a restoration studio, she created signs for restaurants and museums. All this time, Khara was also painting inside of jewelry, and this part of her work gradually became more and more important and recognizable.
At some point she got tired of the city, and in a good time she met a person close to her spirit and went with him on a long journey on a sailing boat. They traveled for about a year, and then, with the approaching birth of a child, returned to land and settled in Washington, where the artisan works now.
Khara says that first it was very difficult to work with miniatures — her eyes got tired, her hands trembled. But over time her vision became even more acute, but she still has to hold her breath so as not to "scare" a good thin stroke.
In addition to medallions, the artist often paints compasses, which I think is endlessly romantic and fully embracing the creative and free spirit of the author.
Let's admire these fine works, revealing the door to the whole worlds!

Are you also more touched by miniatures than "full size" pictures?
