The Campus Christian Center Art Gallery at the University of Arizona is proud to announce its current exhibit “Eclectic Arizona,” featuring photographs by Frances Pearson.

Pearson has been photographing Arizona landscapes and events with a digital camera for five years. She got interested in photography in 1989 by enrolling in non-credit courses at the Corcoran School of Art in Washington, D.C. She had her own traditional wet darkroom and, before moving to Tucson, worked exclusively in black and white. Attracted to patterns and their repetitions, she believes that light is the transforming element in photography. It takes skill and serendipity to capture this transformation. Rodeos, butterflies at Tucson Botanical Gardens and road trip scenes are some of the subjects on display.

The Gallery is located at 715 N. Park Ave. Viewing hours are Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. This free exhibit runs from Oct. 19 through Dec. 11. For more information please call 520-623-7575.
