Howdy! My name is Mary Kate Teske

and I’m a multi-media artist based in Billings, Montana. I’m a photographer, videographer, musician, writer, illustrator, and historian.

I was raised on a farm in the Badlands of Eastern Montana, and my work reflects my roots. Through storytelling, and creating art, I expand the narrative of Montana’s past and present.

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