“Electric Chair” 2008. Medium: Found chair, tree fragment, print of original painting, acrylic, Plexiglas, and Mylar. Price:  $975

“The Electrics” are a fusion of my experience of the golden days of Hippie-Dome and Psychedelia, the magical, hallucinatory quality of indigenous Native American and Mexican ceremonial tradition, and years spent at the computer manipulating digital imagery. These combined experiences are the basis for my “electrified” paintings and sculptures, where nature appears to glow with an almost otherworldly light echoing an “altered experience.”

In “Electric Chair,” the viewer looks through a digital, electrified tree, to find a chair, and sitting on this chair is the symbol of a destroyed earth.  If we search for the electric and psychedelic qualities of nature we may find a connection to and respect for our natural world and its amazing beauty. Linda Vallejo, 2008
