AdminHave you ever had that dream where you are flying? Lucky for me that dream has become a reality when I jump in the moguls. Although I love jumping now, that wasn’t always the case. I have always loved mogul skiing, but jumping terrified me, in fact, my first year competing, I avoided it entirely! Ironically, once we could go inverted (2003), jumping became one of my favorite things, mostly because of my gymnastics background.
Hi! My name is Heather McPhie and I got out of the backpack and hit the slopes at the age of three in Montana, and have had a passion for it ever since. Skiing has taught me so much about myself, I have met countless wonderful people, plus it has taken me all over the world!
Freestyle Mogul skiing is an event I started competing in at the age of twelve. Before that I had been a competitive gymnast and when I was done with that my parent’s didn’t know what to do with me. They knew I loved mogul skiing, and with my gymnastics background they thought I would enjoy jumping. Since sign up day with the Bridger Ski Foundation my career has been a slow and steady climb to where I am now…a member of the US Freestyle Ski Team.
On top of my ski career (which takes up quite a bit of my time), I am the bookkeeper for McPhie Cabinetry, have another part time bookkeeping job in Park City, and whenever I can I love to coach and give back to the sport that has shaped my life. Anytime I can help get people excited about skiing and being outdoors, I’m a happy girl!
When I’m not attending to those things I love to do yoga, visit my family, play with my new nephew Coby, hop on my road bike, freeski, snowboard, sit with a cup of tea and a good book, or be outside doing just about anything!

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.
