locations again, only over 160 years later. Reller’s major commissions include the cover of
Nemont telephone directories in 2006, and murals at the Daniels Memorial Hospital in Scobey, MT. Reller, a Montana artist originally from the Bozeman area, holds an art degree from Montana

in the painted mediums of oil, watercolor and acrylic, he also produces ceramic works and block This exhibition is made possible by the membership of the MonDak Heritage Center.
"Stockton: A Retrospective"
Bill Stockton, (1921-2002), was a prolific artist, metal and bronze sculptor, writer and wool clothing designer. His signiture medium, the colorful cattle marker, is symbolic of his iconoclastic nature. Stockton studied art in Paris under the GI Bill then returned to Montana to his sheep ranch with his French wife Elvia. Fiercely independent, Stockton created without concern for marketability or commercial acceptance. Stockton, dubbed "avant garde" artist of the rugged terrain of central Montana, evolved from abstract expressionist to stark minimalist in his 50 years of painting.
