This large minimalist painting is centered around a dot grid made from US dollar bills. The dollar bills were collected from investors and then made into charcoal. Beneath the grid are subtle variations of white oil paint. Laid over the grid are circles made of copper and silver oil paint, representing coins. Ovals made from green and beige oil paint represent dollar bills. Mauve and beige ovals represent the coveted Hermes Birkin Bag. The minimalist grid composition recalls Agnes Martin, while the dots and ovals echo Bridget Riley and Yayoi Kusama. The oil-primed linen is stretched over heavy duty stretcher bars and does not need to be framed.

Meet the Creator
Wescover creator since 2020
Oil paint is a partner in my artistic process.

I am a California based artist. I paint landscapes and cityscapes inspired by the world around me. I also am inspired by travel to faraway places and times. Vintage photos and travel-related images often provide inspiration for my paintings. These paintings combine figurative and imaginary elements. I also like to explore pattern and will sometimes make large paintings exploring the variations of a single pattern.

My oil paintings are built up with several layers and I often paint wet into wet. This requires a balance between improvisation and intention. The transparency between layers creates vibration and uncertainty.

I also create charcoal from unique materials such as money, food, documents and plants. These materials have meanings that I can integrate into a drawing or painting. I have developed methods for applying these unconventional charcoals to surfaces. Sometimes I use found objects as templates. Often these relate to the meaning of a piece. These pieces are unique and rich in exploration.
