BIOGRAPHY

Masha was born in Moscow, Russia, and immigrated to the US in 1991. Her grandmother, an architect and watercolorist, first introduced her to making art when she was a toddler. Since then, drawing and painting have been important and constant in her life, though her path to a consistent studio practice has not been linear. During her time at Williams College, she studied traditional Chinese landscape watercolor in Yunnan, China and Tibetan Thangka painting in the Himalayan region of India. After graduation, she spent some time at the School of Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, studying drawing and painting. Masha lives in Holliston, Massachusetts with her husband and three children, and works out of her home studio.
