Misti was born in the UK in 1968. Her career path led her to become a designer of bespoke interiors and furniture, specialising in the re-creation of carved period detailing and ornament. Her commissioned works can be seen in palaces, penthouses and private residences all over the world.

In 2016, feeling that she had taken her skills as a designer to their furthest extreme, she set up her woodland studio in Shropshire to make contemporary sculpture and objets d’art.  Working mainly in wood, and occasionally in stone, she produces semi abstract organic pieces as a direct response to her environment. The amount of time she spends creating each one by hand results in sculptures that are informed as much by touch as they are by design, giving them a sensual tactility. Working wood by hand, shaping it with steel, and finishing it with fire and oil is an elemental process that connects Misti deeply to her material. The recurring geometries and rhythms of life resonate throughout her work, reflecting the quiet order of the living world. Her heart, hands, and tools leave their mark on each piece, embodying the timeless and primal relationship between maker, material, and landscape.

In 2021, she starred in, and won, Channel 4’s televised woodworking competition, earning herself the highly dubious title of ‘Britain’s Best Woodworker’, and introducing a worldwide audience of millions to her work.
