Photographer to show her work in La Verne

Katherine Frey, a former Ontario Daily Report photographer, will showcase her work from the Washington Post in an exhibit at the University of La Verne's Irene Carlson Gallery through Oct. 7.

Frey's exhibit focuses on last three years of recession- era photo assignments for the Post.

Guests can meet the artist, via satellite, during a reception in the Carlson Gallery tonight, from 6 to 8 p.m. This event is free and open to the public.

Since joining the Washington Post in 2006, many of Frey's assignments have dealt with, in one form or another, every-day Americans struggling to make ends meet in an area close to where the world's most powerful leaders report to work every day.

As an undergraduate at ULV, Frey was photography editor for La Verne Magazine before graduating in 1983.

Soon after, she was hired as a photography intern at the Daily Report before it merged with the Pomona Progress Bulletin to become the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin.

Admission to the gallery is free.

The Carlson Gallery is open to the public from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Friday or by special appointment.
