Inspired by mysterious dreams and visions, Misha transforms clay and fiber into haunting portraits of Native Americans. Her captivating work embodies the dignity and proud tribal traditions of an ancient people. From thirty two inch mixed media figures to life size warriors,their faces tell a story. They speak silently with their eyes.
Whispering ancient songs of healing, gathering and hunting, their voices echo in the canyons. The reflections of these dreams capture a moment, an image of the past. Misha sculpts not only the person, she sculpts the spirit.
"In my mind's eye I can see a face. As the clay comes to life in my hands
I can see the person and their story. My work is about a fleeting
glimpse into someone's life, a memory of a life's journey."
