UA Alumni Honor Doogan at Ways of Seeing Exhibition

Bailey Doogan: Ways of Seeing exhibition is honored by School of Art alumini.

Doogan held the title of Professor of Design, Painting and Drawing in 1982 to 1999 at The University of Arizona. During and beyond her teaching she was a strong force in the Tucson's arts community.

"Bailey was a painting professor during my time as an art student at UA and I took one of her classes. I remember her very distinctly. She was sharp, sassy and undeniably talented. Her work wasn’t easy to look at and I think that was very much the point. She wasn’t easy … or afraid of being honest in her work and in life." Notes former School of Art student Eve Calderaro, reminiscing on her time with Doogan; one of the countless students Doogan impacted through her teachings and art.

Doogan focused primarily on the human body, integrating her ideas and thoughts on society and the aging female form.

Bailey Doogan: Ways of Seeing, on view until April 4, 2026 at UAMA, 80 selections from each phase of Doogan’s career are being displayed together for the first time.
