The Oklahoma State University Department of Art, Graphic Design and Art History's Fall 2024 BA Studio Capstone Exhibition is in its final week at the Gardiner Gallery of Art. The show, which features the talent of 21 graduating studio art students, closes Dec. 6. “There was no overarching concept for the exhibition,” Gardiner Gallery Director Lindsay Aveilhe said. “The BA students get to showcase their top works completed during their studio art program. Typically, we allow them up to five artworks, generally their best produced during the program. With 21 students — the most we've had in a graduating capstone show thus far — the exhibition includes over 100 works.”

An expert in colonial Latin American art, González specializes in New Spain, which was a viceroyalty of the Spanish Empire that existed from 1521-1821 and included Mexico, Central America and the southwestern United States. So, when González’s former OSU colleague, Dr. Mark White, approached her at the beginning of the pandemic about creating an exhibition for the New Mexico Museum of Art — of which he had just become executive director — she leaped at the chance to showcase Catholic sainthood and relevant artworks during the New Spain era.
