Meet Morgan Massie, also known as Mountain Mama. She's a local, self-taught watercolor artist who specializes in capturing the wild spirit of the Reno/Tahoe area and beyond.

Every Mountain Mama piece is a labor of love, inviting you to bring a touch of the wild into your home and reconnect with nature's magic. Using a watercolor layering technique, she paints realistic wildlife portraits that are both stunning and soulful.

Morgan believes that art is best when shared, which is why she started the "Artful Giving" initiative. Through this program, she donates her time and talent to create original watercolor paintings for individuals or businesses in the community who inspire others with their service, contributions, or support. More about this program can be found on her website. Additionally, Morgan also takes requests for custom pet/animal portraits.
