Photograph by Arlis White Bear

 

Howdy! My name is Mary Kate Teske

and I’m a multi-media artist. I’m a photographer, director, musician, writer, producer, as well as an illustrator. I was raised on a farm in the Badlands of Eastern Montana, which has inspired in me a love for agriculture! My work reflects my roots, as I focus on creating art that helps expand the narrative of farmers, ranchers, and rural communities.

My photography has been published in Food & Wine, Napa Auto Parts, Bandcamp, Hagerty, Road & Track, Billings Gazette, Glasgow Courier, Hi-Line Farm and Ranch, Northern Plains Independent, Miles City Star, Terry Tribune, Last Best News, Forward Montana, Missoula Current, Montana Free Press, and Yellowstone Public Radio.
