The Montana State University Library will present Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks Director Martha Williams as its 2018 speaker for the annual Trout and Salmonid Lecture Series.
Williams will present “Wild Trout in Montana” on Tuesday, April 3, at 7 p.m. in the Strand Union Building Ballrooms in Bozeman. A reception will follow the lecture.
Williams will tell the story of retired FWP fisheries biologist Dick Vincent, and how his pioneering research shaped the department’s habitat protection and water conservation policies for trout in the Madison River. She will also discuss current work by FWP to protect Montana’s trout fisheries from future threats.
Appointed by Gov. Steve Bullock in February 2017, Williams is FWP’s 24th director. She has spent her career dedicated to natural resource management.
Williams served as legal counsel for FWP from 1998 to 2011, taught natural resource law, public land and resources law, and wildlife law at the University of Montana’s Alexander Blewett III School of Law, co-directed UM’s Land Use and Natural Resources Clinic, and worked as the deputy solicitor at the U.S. Department of Interior.
At the Department of Interior, Williams oversaw legal issues and litigation for the National Park Service and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. She received her bachelor’s degree from the University of Virginia and her Juris Doctor with honors from UM’s law school.
“Through this annual lecture, the MSU Library strives to speak to all aspects of trout and salmonid, and to represent the diversity of angling culture,” said special collections librarian James Thull. “Martha is the first female director of Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks, and we look forward to the perspective she will bring to this year’s lecture.”

We all are familiar with using a limited palette, but do you use one? Do you know how to use a limited palette to create different color combinations? Are you tired of carrying around 15-20 different tubes when you paint plein air? Have you ever wanted to create a certain “mood” in a painting but failed? Do you create a lot of mud? Do you struggle to achieve color harmony? All these problems are addressed in John’s workbook in clear and concise language!
Based on the bestselling “Limited Palatte, Unlimited Color” workbook written by John Pototschnik, the workshop is run by Maggie Shane and Annie McCoy, accomplished landscape (acrylic) and plein air (oil) artists,exhibitors at the Big Sky Artists’ Studio & Gallery and members of the Big Sky Artists Collective.
Each student will receive a copy of “Limited Palette, Unlimited Color” to keep and take home to continue your limited palette journey. We will show you how to use the color wheel and mix your own clean mixtures to successfully create a mood for your paintings.
Each day, we will create a different limited palette color chart and paint a version of a simple landscape using John’s directives. You will then be able to go home and paint more schemes using the book for guidance.
Workshop is open to painters (oil or acrylic) of any level although students must have some basic knowledge of the medium he or she uses. Students will be provided the book ($92 value), color wheel, value scale and canvas papers to complete the daily exercises.
Sundays, April 14, 21 and 28, 2024
Noon until 6PM.
