A lot has happened since 1881 when Father Joseph Cataldo, S.J. purchased the land to build Gonzaga College in Spokane, Washington. For the many thousands of alumni who once called Gonzaga “home,” the administration building painted here, with its granite steps and façade, and massive wooden doors was the first building they entered on their collegiate journey. Who knew what the next four years would bring?Having grown up in St. Aloysius parish, I wanted a view that included the towering spires of St. Aloysius Church. For me, they stand as a symbol of God's blessing over all who enter this monumental building and glorious campus. This painting is dedicated to all who know, live or aspire to Gonzaga’s guiding educational philosophy to educate the whole person – the mind, the body, and the spirit – through “cura personalis,” caring for the individual.
