About Me
Hello!
Welcome, my name is Kelsey Morris. I am an artist and outdoors enthusiast located in Three Forks, Montana. You’ll most likely find me hiking, camera in hand and pup by my side, hoping to capture a fleeting moment of backcountry beauty.
Although artistry has always been a natural inclination, it was not until early 2018 that I began my artwork business. While known best for canine portraits, my style is originally influenced by wildlife and Western landscapes. My primary mediums include oil paint and graphite pencils. I enjoy all aspects of creating- so you’ll often find me working simultaneously on commercial, private, and personal projects. Thank you so much for visiting my website! Please check back often for new artworks and the latest from KRae Artwork & Illustration Company.
