Fine Art	Graphic Design

Growing up in Michigan Misha lived in a practical world. Although she has many artists in her family she was encouraged to be practical, so she did not do art for much of her childhood. In High school she had to fill in a couple of classes to graduate and took art as a blow off class. But there she discovered that she could draw and create things. That changed everything.
She studied art in community college. Not really with the idea of getting a degree in it, but to see what she could learn. During this time the practical came up again and she took a job drafting pages for car manuals. It was dull and detailed work. In 1991 she decided after a bad version of one of her designs was tattooed on her boyfriend, that she would learn to tattoo. She has been doing tattoos ever since. (click here for tattoo bio)

At a very young age Misha wanted to move to Japan and live in the shadow of Mt. Fuji. As she grew older she kept being drawn to the art, music and food of Asia. She has studied Middle Eastern mosaics, Hindu Gods, Chinese and Japanese graphic design and Anime. She has also tattooed since 1991 for a living. All of these influences come together to make her girlies.

She has been showing in galleries on a regular basis since 2001. Currently she is very involved in the LA underground scene.
