Khara has gilded the Empire State Building, lived in a cemetery, painted foliage in a 17th century Italian palazzo, and designed murals for Dubai, but she is a downright down to earth person. She currently lives and works on the Oregon coast with her partner and two little boys, where she sits in wet sand to paint waves or paints in oils and enamels in her home studio. Khara cares deeply about painting; she cares that what she paints nurtures imagination, healing, and delight.  She cares that her interactions are considerate and open-hearted.
