A California transplanted feminist vegan living deep in cattle country on the High Plains of Texas, Gamble creates life-size ceramic figurative sculptures and installations of multiple ceramic cast fragments, focusing attention on issues surrounding ecofeminism. Her current work sits at the intersection of feminism and environmentalism and looks to the relationship between human animals and non-human animals. Her work is inspired by research from The Sexual Politics of Meat by Carol J Adams, which has become the classic articulation of the hidden connections between meat eating and patriarchy, and between vegetarianism and feminism. Misty has completed over 20 residencies in the US, China and Italy. Gamble is the co-founder of Studio Nong: International Sculpture collective and residency program. Studio Nong travels to China and the US to accomplish residencies that focus on clay figurative sculpture. This year she was selected as an artist in its 2024 Texas Biennial. Misty received her MFA in 2007 from San Francisco State University. She was a full time Assistant Professor at the Kansas City Art Institute for nearly a decade and has taught throughout Italy. Currently, she is 3D Area Head and Assistant Professor of Art at West Texas A&M University.
