"This has been one our most popular exhibits," gallery President Patti Trobaugh said. "We've had people come from near and far to see her work -- many from out of state. We are very glad and grateful to Elizabeth for allowing us to keep her up through Dec. 15. Come see it! You'll be amazed!"

UNCOMMON is a survey of more than 70 images drawn from Matheson’s 50-year career ranging from her early vintage gelatin silver prints to her stunning self-portraits and contemporary large-scale color work. Among her many accomplishments and recognitions, in 2004 Matheson received the North Carolina Award for fine arts, the highest civilian honor given by the state.
