This October Gail Buono brings 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.
