Meet the Team

Kelsey Montague

I’m an artist that is very interested in exploring how public art, interactive art and social media intersect.

My murals specifically invite people into a piece and then invite people to share their experience online. I believe that art should not be separated from the human experience. Instead the human experience should have a hand in creating the art itself.

After studying art in Florence, and graduating from Richmond University in London with a degree in Art, Design & Media, I spent 4 years in NYC – embracing and battling the Big Apple while developing my pen & ink style.

People have asked me where the designs come from in my illustrations. I could give some long, mystical answer, but the truth is… I honestly don’t know. I just know that when I start drawing, I completely lose myself in the flow of images. I hope you enjoy these designs as much as I enjoyed creating them!

Courtney Montague

Courtney Montague is the face behind the Kelsey Montague Art Brand. As the Operations Director Courtney is responsible for managing all of the company’s clients, PR, launching new initiatives and managing on-site logistics.

After studying literature in Paris, and graduating from The American University of Paris, Courtney spent 6 years in International Development in New Zealand where she constantly traveled to countries throughout Africa, Asia and Central America. She then moved to NYC to attend NYU’s Wagner School of Public Service where she was a Reynolds Fellow in Social Entrepreneurship.

After her time at NYU Courtney worked for boutique digital agency HD Made in NYC where she managed digital projects for clients such as Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF), VH1 Save the Music Foundation, Coalition for the Homeless and Women for Women.

When Courtney is not running operations for the business, working with clients or exploring countries with her sister she’s hanging out with the best doodle in town – Boomer.

Krista Bridges

Krista joins the Kelsey Montague Art team as Project Manager, supporting in daily operations, mural logistics and our product / wholesale development.

She and Kelsey met while studying abroad together at Richmond University in London, and has since been an advocate supporting Kelsey’s work and passionate drive.  

After graduating from the University of Rhode Island, Krista spent 6 years in Marketing and Experiential Events where she utilized her organizational strengths, managing brand activation projects across multiple shopper, e-commerce, digital and experiential marketing platforms.  She took a break from agency-land in 2015 to pursue other personal goals, including a career change – moving back to London to obtain her personal training qualifications.

Krista has since moved back to the USA, moved to Ireland and now currently lives in Edinburgh, Scotland where she balances work, coaching fitness classes and playing dodgeball for the Scotland Highlanders. She believes in creating a life that tells a great story and is thrilled to be teaming up with the Montague Sisters in this next chapter.
