After you add an image file to your project, you can add it to the artboard by double-clicking the image file name in the Projects panel, right-clicking the image and click Insert or by setting the Source property of an existing image control to the name of the image file.

You can add images to the artboard for display and also convert the images to brush resources that you can apply to other objects.
