About
Well, Hello.
My name is Khara Ledonne, and I have been a working artist for 25 years.
My career has traveled from the west coast to the east coast and back again, and has involved such heists as gilding the Empire State Building, muraling to Vivaldi in an Italian Palazzo, and designing the gaudiest murals you can imagine for the Hotel Atlantis in Dubai. There were many trysts with corporate signage in New York City, and roughly a thousand custom miniatures the size of your pinky nail, some of them painted aboard a 29’ sailboat.
Along these professional capers, a whimsical narrative has always peeked through, and now finds itself stomping through my work and leaving its muddy, imaginative footprints on everything. I am keen to let these literary sea lions and opinionated lighthouses shine in work that highlights the natural environment with a sense of wonder and humor.
I am barnacled down in salty Newport, Oregon where you can find me at For Artsake Gallery and the bountiful OCCA. Prints of my work are available at Minted and Art Bloom.
