Let's get acquainted!
My name is Irina Zhmurenko and I invite you to my creative world!
I am an architect by training, and since 2010 I have been working as a doll artist. I create dolls and decor from porcelain. In my personal life,
I am a mother of three grown children, an incorrigible romantic realist with a penchant for optimism! I will be glad if my work evokes positive emotions and touches your heart!
