Yes, you can store images instead of strings in an array. You can store any object you like in an array.

import UIKit

var images: [UIImage]

This will create a variable array that stores UIImages. To change it to any other type of object, you just have to replace UIImage with the name of the object you would like it to contain.

you can read about loading images to an UIImage in the apple docs UIImage
