"I’ve known Brian Bowen-Smith for almost 25 years and one of the things that he and I have always had in common is our love and appreciation for art and the creative process. Over the decades and amongst countless conversations he and I have mused about collaborating in some visual sense; combining Brian’s photography with my painting, to be sure. This first Moonlight Arts Collective release is the culmination of twenty something years of those musings, and I am so thrilled to have finally bitten the creative bullet with one of my oldest friends in the world...
...The subject of these first pieces is the celebrated dancer, actor and producer Sarah Hay. She seemed to be the perfect subject for this initial foray into painting on photographs as she herself is art in motion. Her highly specialized talent for movement really made the process quite easy for both of us, as we merely had to be in the right place at the right time to capture this unique human. Brian photographed her in her native garb and I mimicked the movements with oil pastel and high hopes that I wouldn’t sully what I thought to be an already perfect set of images." - Brandon Boyd
