Paul Gagner

Paul redrew a one dollar bill as a ten dollar bill. It is a counterfeiter's method called "lifting". I say it's Paul using his epic abilities to confound and amuse everyone in the room. Seriously, get close to this piece. It's awesome. If you don't know Paul's work, Check it out!

Paul Gagner. "Keep the Change." Oil on Dollar Note.

Mark Sengbusch

Mark's work is very intriguing. His focus deals with layering a complex grid. An overlapping framework of mapped out mathematical design... very intense work.

Mark Sengbusch. "Rose Plane."(20) Mixed on Dollar note.

Christian Johnson

Christian Johnson's work has a simplicity and sophisticated allure. His piece is so subtle and understated. It's quiet stylistic abstraction is really captivating.

Christian Johnson. "Untitled." Graphite on Dollar Note.

Lee Misenheimer

Lee Misenheimer is an incredible draftsman and artist. His work is as meticulous as it is beautiful. He folds together flawless forms and creates epic creatures out of simple line. Seriously, this piece is mesmerizing. Find this guy's work...unreal!

Lee Misenheimer. "Untitled." Ink on Dollar note.

Nghia Nguyen

The very funny and amazing Nghia brought one of my favorites to the show. Nghia is a great guy who helped the show be what it is! 

Nghia Nguyen. "No Money, No Honey." Ink on Dollar.

Carmen Von K

I was so happy to have Carmen in the show, she was one of two photography based artists in the exhibition. Her work is a combination of photo and mixed media. The photo portion is photographed paper layered and abstracted over the dollar. Her work is very interesting and a lot of fun. She brought a new perspective to the show which was a breath of fresh air. Thank you Carmen.

Jonny Ruzzo

Jonny Ruzzo's piece let's you know exactly what it's all about. It is gorgeous and funny.  This is a guy to keep your eye on. A super talented Artist. Check out his work if you haven't already!

Jonny Ruzzo. "Mommy, It's not all about the Money." Glitter on Dollar note.

Ari

If there was any Powerhouse in Newark NJ it would be Ari.  Her work is geared towards the explosion of minds and once she pops up on the scene be sure to be surprised. Her continuing explorations of line work is a great achievement.

Her excellent Dollar is highlighted on our main wall alone. Still Available! $100 Bucks! So Cheap! Wouldn't that look good in your home, above your night stand!?

Maya Brym

Maya Brym was my next door studio mate. One day when I was stopping over her place to ask for a cup of artist's sugar, I caught a glimpse of her magnificent floral paintings.  Then I had to ask for multiple cups on different days to peak more glimpses of the work over her shoulder. At times one is reminded of a Charley Harper -esque preternatural ability for simplicity and at other times she reveals worlds that live in worlds through a potted plant. And the potential that lives within all those little guys...  to one day be free of the pot that they are planted in.  Go to this NYFA Fellowship Winner's Website Now!

Maya made this dollar that echo's humanities gaze up to the sky, through the ages.

Joel Dugan

Joel blacked out the dollar. He removed all the power it holds. The graphite is slick and shiny and very captivating. Excellent piece.

Joel Dugan. "Grease." Graphite on Dollar Note.

Andrew Smenos

So this guy made this.
 It's keeping up with the body of work dealing with carved toy animals. One Tiger under Tiger, indivisible tiger ...tiger... In Tiger we trust.

Andrew Smenos. " One Tiger." Oil on Dollar Note

Benjamin Martins

Benjamin makes gorgeous and haunting watercolor portraits. This piece is collage of a watercolor and the frame work of a dollar. It must be seen in person. It is quite impressive and well executed deliberate work.

Benjamin Martins. " Untitled." Watercolor and Dollar Note

Taylor McKimens & Joe Sorren

Taylor McKimens and Joe Sorren are incredibly talented Artists and they submitted a fistful of dollars to the show. Some were individually made and some were collaborative efforts. This piece features both Artists. A joint effort and a beautiful piece. This is a really rare and unique piece. I don't think you will find this anywhere else. If you are a fan of either Artist or both this is an epic work.

Taylor McKimens, Joe Sorren. "Untitled." Mixed on Dollar Note

Scott Penkava

Mary Pinchot Meyer was a pretty amazing lady. You should google her if you don't know who she is. Scott's piece came with the very special instructions, "handle with gloves." This piece is hilarious and very clever and we are glad we looked that lady up. Seriously look up MARY PINCHOT MEYER.

Scott Penkava. "Mary Pinchot Meyer." Mixed on Dollar Note.

Alexandra Evans "Oh for the Love of Money." Blood, oil paint on Dollar note.

Ryan Scully

Ryan Scully's dollar is really incredible. He built a special light box that captures light and injects it into his work. The painting is an amazing nod to Albert Bierstadt's depiction of early American frontier life. Just see for yourself... unbelievable work!

Reid Bingham

Reid is a Digital Media heavy weight. On weekends (and some weeknights) Under the Shadow of Nightfall, Reid dawns a sophisticated robotic suit of armor to compete in illegal Robot fighting arena's around the metropolitan area... Some do not believe and say he is actually a Robot, others say he is just plain Mad. One thing they can't argue about is He's Good. YEah.. He's real Good.. Cause he's not Dead... And He's never lost... When he's not fighting Robot's or infiltrating crime rings in the underbelly of New York City (oops that was supposed to be a secret) he is making amazing Art. 
The weight on this Man's shoulders.. well... only he can Bare.

Should you decide to type his name into your google bar you will be that much smarter (holding up pinchy finger hand). Check him out!

Natalia Zubko

Everybody back up ... Natalia just sent in her extraordinary dollar bill.  Her skills as a talented sculptor were employed to build this gorgeous illusion. She layered paper and each paper lip catches or shades the light creating an amazing sense of depth.

Natalia Zubko "Light, Love and the Pursuit of Happiness." Collage on dollar note.

Kristen Schiele

The very talented and creative Kristen Schiele just sent over her stunning bill. Her approach constructs a hypnotic crystaline collideoscope around all subject matter she focuses on.... George Washington included. Excellent work.

Kristen Schiele "Pretty Washington." Airbrush on dollar note.

Richard Saja

Richard Saja is a very talented guy and it is difficult not to love everything he makes. The fact that his work is all perfectly embroidered is only one reason to be in awe. Richard is also very clever and funny. If you don't know about this guy you should.

Richard Saja, "Little Georgina, my Icelandic cousin." Metallic thread, rayon floss, crystal beads, ribbon, rosettes, dollar note

Casey Farnum

Fedele Spadafora

Fedele's piece is gorgeously atmospheric. I love how he framed the night sky with the ornate filigree of the bills inner design.

Fedele Spadfora, "Star Sister." Acrylic and oil on Dollar note.

Paul D'Agostino

This whimsical piece is Paul D'Agostino's. The writing on the bill reads "Funny, really, ours terms of reference for currency, markets and the like: inflate, deflate, expand, contract, bloat, float...balloon."

Jeff Faerber

Jeff Faerber is a very talented and funny person, it's clearly shows here in his dollar bill. You don't need me to tell you this piece is awesome.  I think it speaks for itself.

Jeff Faerber, "Ce n'est pas unpiege." (this is not a trap). Mixed media on Dollar note.

Paul Brainard

Paul's collaged dollar just arrived!
It refreshing to see someone else instead of GW. I wish all money had images of badass Grandmas. I like the reference to the to the Masonic Eye that normally appears on the reverse side of the bill.  So Good.

Paul Brainard, "Stanley 2012." Ink pen, burn hole, collage on Dollar Note.

Rachel Pontious

Believe it or not, Rachel Pontious, found this dollar sitting between two floor boards. It had fallen into the crack quite some time ago. It had lived its life there listening to arguments in the kitchen, hearing small trucks rolling around the living room floor, and desperate sighs from one of the bed rooms at night. Now these 3, all grown up, don't even remember looking like this.. don't even remember themselves.. don't even remember this dollar.

..sniff.. sniff... (stupid tears).. well ..

that's at least what I just made up right now! Cause Rachel's painting is so damn good!
