The show highlights Fleury's foray into the culture of hot rods and Formula One racing. Among other things, that interest has led her to design a woman's race dress for Hugo Boss, and enroll at the Bonndurant Racing School in Phoenix.
She plumbs this passionate subculture through video, installation, sculpture and painting. The exhibit also includes advice on building a hot rod, along with "club" T-shirts, bumper stickers and other merchandise for sale.
She Devils on Wheels continues through April 15 at Elizabeth Cherry Contemporary Art, 441 E. Grant Road. Gallery hours are noon to 5 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday. Call 903-0577 for details.

BUTTERFLY FETE: Researcher and shutterbug Priscilla Brodkin sheds light on our flittering friends with The Sunangels of Southeastern Arizona and Sonora. Her talk is hosted by the Tucson Audubon Society.
Butterflies are among the most popular -- and decidedly the comeliest -- of all insects. That makes us lucky in these parts, with more than 250 species calling the region home.
A longtime enthusiast and founding member of the Southeast Arizona Butterfly Association, Brodkin gives a slide presentation and discusses many area species. She also details mimicry and other defense mechanisms used by the critters, the nectar plants they need for food, and the close connection between butterflies of southeastern Arizona and neotropical Sonora.
Pima County Manager Chuck Huckelberry precedes Brodkin with a brief presentation titled The Cost of Growth in Pima County.
