Women In Action was founded in 2005 by a group of Big Sky women dedicated to enriching lives of children and families by providing access to affordable health, family and educational services.
This winter, the group implemented an opinion-based survey designed to gather data about the positive and negative health issues of the area and where WIA can expand and improve services.
“In the next month, I will be creating a detailed report to discuss what the results mean and how they will be used by Women In Action to explore possibilities for future efforts,” Beczkiewicz said.
Public health professional Erin Bills, MPH, coordinated the report, which was funded by public and private contributions. The following info graphic contains some of the survey results.

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.
