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.
Raised on a farm in the Badlands of Eastern Montana, my work reflects my roots. Cowboy poets inspired me to become a storyteller. Through the creation of art, I focus on telling stories of Montana’s past and present while helping brands, businesses, historic landmarks, museums, and individuals share their personal journey.
Let’s work together to tell your story:
