Tina Milisavljevich grew up in the beautiful state of Colorado; the breath-taking rugged mountains and wildlife served as a peaceful and inspirational backdrop. From an early age she acquired a love for art. Soon after high school she took her work to various art shows across the West, and the journey of the life of an artist began.She had always yearned to make a three-dimensional piece, and the idea struck her while walking along the shores of Flathead Lake where she stumbled over a half-buried root that happened to look exactly like a horse. This ignited her imagination and her first piece came to be. One sculpture led to another, and she has now found that the possibilities are endless. To add a dash of interest, she searches for old automobile parts, hoods, and fenders from the 1950s and 60’s. These are then cut into various shapes and added to each sculpture for strength and interest.When on the beaches of the lake Milisavljevich is fascinated with every earthy polished piece of wood, and has often wondered about its journey from the rivers to this lake and finally into her hands. The positive reaction that viewers share assures her to keep creating.
