Shelters from Earth is an on-site painting, drawing, and sculpture installation on a remote property in Yucca Valley, California. This exhibition was made with the intention to give home, respite, and house communication with the alien and spirit world. As these entities fly over Earth, they need safe places where they are welcome and taken care of. Here, they will be able to sit back, put their “feet” up, and rest until their next journey. Present day Earth has many dark spots, places where they are not welcome and not seen. Shelters from Earth offers a beacon for the paranormal to land - a bower for the psychic, metaphysical, and the phenomenal.
