Sand Dollars
An exhibition by Evan Rossell and Dee Rosse
Evan Rossell and Dee Rosse are a married couple and artist duo based in Orange County, California. As museum-exhibited artists, their work has been shown at MOCA (Museum of Contemporary Art), positioning their practice within the contemporary art and collector space.
Their work is shaped by growing up along the Southern California coast, building a life together, and developing parallel creative worlds that constantly influence one another. Working across wood canvases, reclaimed materials, older sculptural works, and three-dimensional forms, they create pieces that feel personal, tactile, and reclaimed and rooted in place.
Known for their bold characters, layered surfaces, pattern work and hand-built approach, Evan and Dee’s work reflects duality, memory, love, nostalgia, and the shared visual language of two artists who have grown together over time. Evan is known for his hairy monsters, including his character Stink. Dee Rosse is known for Rosse, her smirking faces and pattern work. Their work reflects a duality—two distinct identities that influence and mirror each other.
Sand Dollars is a coastal body of work inspired by Orange County beach culture, childhood memories, surf shops, sun-faded objects, and the small artifacts collected along the way.
The exhibition brings together wood canvases, sculptural works, and three-dimensional pieces that feel like fragments from a remembered coastline—weathered, playful, imperfect, and personal. With a tone that sits somewhere between a neighborhood surf shop and a contemporary gallery, Sand Dollars reflects the world Evan and Dee grew up in and together and the visual language they continue to build together and their future along the coast.
