About The Artist
Happy Yak Creations was born out of an eagerness to make people smile. Each hand-sculpted polymer clay figurine is crafted with detail, imagination, playfulness, expression, and color. From the strange to the adorable, flora and fauna of all kinds find a home at Happy Yak.
Michelle DeLarme has always found joy in bringing fantastical creatures to life. After discovering polymer clay in 2011, she knew she had found a medium that empowered her to express her imagination in new and exciting ways. A self-taught artist, Michelle has refined her skill through trial and error, patience, experimentation, and practice. She is always eager to try new styles, especially if they present a challenge.
Based in the Pacific Northwest, Michelle draws in much of her inspiration from the untamed natural world, adding a dash of fantasy to the wonders of her own backyard. In her spare time, she enjoys bouldering, playing electric bass, speaking Spanish, and Onewheeling.
