Vallejo’s imagery is drawn from her beliefs about the cosmos, creation, and the interlacing relationship between women and the earth. Her work is a celebration of the innate relationship of nature with humanity and the divine forces which give life and death to earth’s creatures. Exploring relationships to nature and the spiritual legacy of her Mexican heritage, Vallejo’s practice is an amalgamation of aesthetics reflecting cultural memory, knowledge, and her own life experiences of Latino, Chicano, and American indigenous culture and communities resulting in a Chicana feminist decolonial practice.
