Hi Aida, how did you get into miniatures? It would have been around 1990 when a small store in my city asked me to paint some miniature furniture. At that time I had a workshop where I taught classes in decorative painting for furniture on a normal scale. That was my first contact with this exciting world. A year later I entered an important collection of furniture into a national miniatures contest. I received the Author Furniture award, and as a result of that I began to go to fairs and work for more stores — there is no stopping me now!
