Lady in Blue Sculpture

About

Experience a remarkable blend of history, art, and legend at the Lady in Blue Sculpture along San Angelo's Concho River Walk. This impressive bronze monument honors the story of María de Jesús de Ágreda, a 17th-century Spanish nun who, according to religious tradition, mysteriously appeared to the Jumano people of West Texas to share messages of faith and compassion. Created by renowned sculptor Vic Payne, the larger-than-life sculptures depict the Lady in Blue alongside members of the Jumano community. First dedicated in 2018, the installation celebrates an important chapter in the region's cultural and religious heritage. Surrounded by landscaped grounds and scenic river views, the sculpture is a peaceful destination for photography, reflection, and exploring the unique stories that shaped the Concho Valley.
