The artist affectionately refers to this painting as "The Mother-ship", though it officially goes by another title. Bright yellow floods the middle of the canvas, surrounding a hovering cone-like form that emanates beams of lights from it's disc-shaped top. This is the most direct representation of a UFO in the artist's series of paintings that depict her personal encounter with multiple UFOs while driving on the Garden State Parkway in New Jersey with her family in 1971.

About The Exhibition:

This October Gail Buono brings seven stunning oil paintings to Electra Gallery that are born of her own personal encounter with, yes, flying saucers. In 1971 Gail, along with her family and many members of her community, experienced an extended encounter with multiple "Unidentified Flying Objects" while they were driving along the Garden State Parkway in New Jersey. 1983 Gail began to process the experience through pastel drawings and oil paintings. 40 years later, in the wake of calls for disclosure around the world, Gail has decided it is time to share her experience with the world.
