The Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College (SMWC) Art Gallery’s next exhibition will feature the work of seniors Perla Mateo-Lujan and Molly Migliaccio. The exhibition will be on display Oct. 21 through Nov. 6. An opening reception will take place on Wednesday, Oct. 21, from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.

Mateo-Lujan will graduate in December with a bachelor of arts degree in graphic design. A transfer student from Ivy Tech Community College, Columbus, she is from Ellettsville, Ind. Mateo-Lujan says most of her pieces in the exhibit are commercial work, including logos, posters and advertisements, but there are a few pieces in the exhibit that have special meaning for her.

“One is a panorama photograph of McCormick’s Creek that I took while at my last college,” she said. “My friends and I would always love hiking through the trails and for one of my assignments for Imaging Class was that we needed to capture the beauty of a special area through a panoramic photo. I went to McCormick’s Creek around 5 a.m. when it was still somewhat foggy, and it had just rained so the green was really vibrant. All I wanted to do was capture the beauty of nature, and I hope I achieved it through my picture.”

Migliaccio, who is from Phoenix, Ariz., will also graduate in December with a bachelor of arts degree in graphic design, as well as an associate’s degree in equine studies. Her exhibit is titled “A Desert Wind Between Horse’s Ears.”

The SMWC Art Gallery is located in Hulman Hall, room 132. Admission is free and open to the public. Regular Gallery hours are Monday through Friday, noon to 4 p.m. For more information, contact Rebecca Mollenhauer, Gallery Director, by phone at 812-535-5265 or by email at artgallery@smwc.edu.
