Misha Malpica
Misha’s incredible sculptures have been fascinating and delighting collectors from around the world for over thirty years. Misha transforms clay into figures of ancient and wise spirits from a long time forgotten. Her captivating work embodies the dignity and proud tribal traditions of the Native Americans. Haunting visions of warriors and healers, hunters and gatherers, Misha sculpts not only the person, she sculpts the spirit. Her award winning sculptures have been featured on the cover of magazines and included in Southwest Art, Phoenix Home and Garden and New Mexico Magazine. In 1998 Misha received The Hubbard Museum of the American West’s “Best Lincoln County Artist” award for her Ghost Warrior.
Misha’s work has decorated the White House Christmas tree and is included in the permanent collection of American Artists, Washington DC. Recently she was chosen to be included in Kennedy Publishing’s national Art publication as “Best in Mixed Media Artist,” to be released later this year. Included in the collections of actress Demi Moore, the late Lucille Ball and numerous other collectors, Misha continues to create unique sculptures and teach summer workshops from her studio and home here in Ruidoso, New Mexico.
“In my mind’s eye I can see a face. As the day 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 journey.”
