Meet the Artist

"An essential part of being an artist is the ability to feel and recognize a connection.  The most successful artists have a connection to the subject they are rendering.  Whether that subject is a human being, an animal, a piece of granite, the vast sky above us or a glorious vista that surrounds us.  Katt Ellis, the owner if Upstream Wall Designs is a woman who definitely feels a connection to the world around her".  As stated by The Faux Finisher Magazine-SUMMER ISSUE 2008. 
Katt has lived in Montana the majority of her life.  Respecting it's rich history and marveling at it's infinite untamed landscapes, Katt affectionately refers to her home state as "God's Country" and feels that her spirit has been gifted with the kinetic energy that comes from the mountains and her one on one connection with wildlife and animals in general. Determined to live her life outloud, she covets her outdoor activities involving fishing rushing glacier streams, archery, hiking high line trails and silently slicing through clear hidden lakes in her kayak.  Constantly searching for a new adventure in the wilds of Montana, Katt involves her two married children, Shannon and Kande, their spouses, Melissa and Calon, and her three grandchildren, Kyona, Jacx and Cyler as much as possible.  Always surrounded by nature, she has been provided with the subject matter for her art.  She is a decorative artist, specializing in rustic design and three-dimensional wildlife   themes.  These exquisite "on the wall" experiences are not restricted by frames.  Katt has complimented many projects by completing them in large scale for homeowners, commercial businesses such as hotels, banks, care centers, credit unions and a contractor's dream foyer.  Her designs and special attention to detail have won Katt the raves of her clients.  Katt loves the opportunity to offer her clients something that they can cherish for years.  Especially when it reflects their way of life or the area in which they live.
If you can dream it,  she will work with you to design it.  Provided with an image or idea, Katt uses her innovative style to construct a likeness of her clients request.  Whenever she designs a mural,  it is her goal to present  her customer with an atmosphere that credits their personality and interests.  Katt's vision for the art and design industry includes a vast diversity of captivating wall presentations.  Provided with a fresh palette of translucent colors and carved plaster relief, she leaves her clients "living" with the same experience that the uniqueness of her art work represents....the freedom of boundaries.
