About

Hi there! I’m Misha and I make things.

Originally from Michigan, I moved to Montreal in 2019. Since then I’ve cycled through hobbies trying to figure out what I really want to do, and working on improving my art in general.

At the beginning of 2021, I had an idea for a Totoro inspired facemask (we all know why) and was thrilled to find a local manufacturer here in Montreal! It was a lot of fun to see something I drew become a physical thing I could wear!

Since then I’ve been doing the independent artist thing. My online shop opened in fall 2021 with a facemask and t-shirt and has since evolved to be mostly a stationery shop (I love a good stationery store!) selling stickers, greeting cards, notebooks, original watercolor works, etc., and a handful of home decor items. I also do the occasional commissioned project.

In 2025 I started participating in local markets selling in person for the first time. I have really enjoyed interacting with my local community and connecting with other artists of all sorts. 

In 2026 I’m still trying to pin down what I want to do long term, but for now I’m enjoying drawing, painting, and learning!
