Jeffrey Vallance received his B.A. from the California State University, Northridge in 1979 and an MFA from The Otis Art Institute of the Parsons School of Design, Los Angeles in 1981. His work explores miraculous phenomena, paranormal events, and bizarre relationships between the religious and the secular. He explores these issues in various ways – through painting, drawing, video, performance, and the written word (Vallance is a regular contributor to both the L.A. Weekly and Fortean Times, a newspaper of paranormal experiences.) With a shrewd sense of humor, Vallance explores all aspects of American culture with bizarre logic.

Since the early 1970s, Vallance has shown his work internationally in both traditional museum and gallery settings as well as in more unconventional institutions such as The Liberace Museum in Las Vegas and Ron Lee’s World of Clowns Museum in Henderson, Nevada. Vallance’s solo exhibitions include the Tasmanian Museum, Australia, the Art Institute of Boston, and the Santa Monica Museum of Art, California. He lives and works in California.
