About

Born in Russia, Masha “MouseBones” Vereshchenko moved to Detroit at the age of 12 with her mother. Now based in Pittsburgh, PA, she is a self-taught, multidisciplinary artist who draws heavy inspiration from the drag and club kid scene she calls home. Her early work—primarily paintings—served as a means of overcoming life’s hardships, blending dreamlike visuals, childhood influences, and an intimate darkness to convey deeply personal emotions.

Her artistic journey has taken her across the world. She has been represented by 19 Karen Gallery, exhibited in numerous local, national, and international shows across the U.S., U.K., and Australia, and even modeled in Italian Vogue with nightlife icon Susanne Bartsch. Her work has been featured in Pittsburgh Moto Magazine, Pittsburgh City Paper, Unicorn Mountain, Equal Magazine, Catapult Magazine, and more.

Today, Masha channels her creative energy into Electric Cat, her jewelry brand, which stays true to her club kid and drag scene roots. Featuring bold colors, statement designs, and vibrant finishes, each piece is made to be the perfect accessory for self-expression and fearless individuality. What started with a few molds and a bottle of resin has grown into a thriving business—powered by a laser cutter, her membership at Protohaven, local art markets, editorial features, and collaborations with incredible drag performers. She has been a winner at the Ecolution Fashion Show, has her work displayed at I Made It Market, and continues to push artistic boundaries.
