Welcome!

Hello! My name is Kelsey McCann and I live in Missoula, Montana with my husband, two kiddos (two years old and a summer ‘23 baby), and two dogs. Painting has run through my blood since before I can remember. Both my maternal great grandmother and my grandfather were artists and my mom got me into art classes at a very young age. (Thanks mom!) Art has always been part of my life, but has ebbed and flowed depending on what stage of life I’m in. I’m ready to go for it now!

I taught elementary school for 6 years until our son was born in 2021. Now, being a mom, my art has been a way to keep something for myself as well as show my kiddo how important this is to his mama! He has been my number one enthusiast and loves to see what mama has painted while he’s napped every day! (Also a HUGE shoutout to my husband and family and friends too.) “Fish” is one of our son’s first words … and I’m going to contribute that to all of the trout that I’ve painted and that are on our walls and coffee mugs.

I love painting things that mean something to me and to others. Growing up in Montana has given me constant inspiration to create paintings of landscapes, wild animals, trout, cattle … anything that is Montana! I’ve done many commissions within the last few years. It is so special getting to paint something that means so much to other people and that will be on their walls!
