MORAGA, CA.- Saint Mary’s College of California has begun construction on an expansion of the Hearst Art Gallery. The new construction will enable the College to increase exhibition space by 50 percent and display a greater number of the 4,500 works of art from Saint Mary’s permanent collection in two new large galleries. The Hearst Art Gallery will remain open during construction and the gallery’s director Carrie Brewster encourages the public to visit the current exhibition “Pam Glover: A Life in Art,” which is on view until Sept. 11. “Even though we have fences up all around the construction, we encourage visitors to come see Pam Glover’s work. She was an amazing artist and the exhibition includes 61 plein air landscapes and other works, including postwar fashion,” said Brewster. Public hours are
