Autorenporträt
Kaye Browning is the curator and creative energy behind the Kathleen Savage Browning Miniatures Collection in Maysville, Kentucky. Her journey into miniatures started with a gift some forty years ago and has since developed into one of the most extensive collections of 1/12-scale fine art miniatures in the world. Kaye's collection features miniature working instruments and tools, replicas of rare museum works, and furnishings which have been created using the same materials and techniques artisans used centuries ago to create the full-sized items. Love of history and craftsmanship first drew Kaye to fine art miniatures and today she is devoted to publicizing the art form and its artisans. As a prominent collector, she shares her knowledge and expertise through lectures and tours of the KSB Miniatures Collection, a 3,300-square-foot gallery located within the Kentucky Gateway Museum Center. A member of the International Guild of Miniature Artisans (IGMA) and the National Association of Miniature Enthusiasts (NAME), she is regularly featured on television and in publications worldwide.
