Born and raised on a farm in North Carolina, Brian never imagined that one day he would be working with award winning cinematographers and directors.

In 1988, his passion for cinema would put him in Los Angeles, attending The Movie Group Institute. Here he would study Cinematography and Directing under the watchful eye of the late Actor, Ross Hagen (Daktari, Gunsmoke, Mission Impossible, The Fall Guy).

Later in his career, Brian would direct and shoot such notables as Donald O'Conner (Singing In The Rain), Sarah Jessica Parker (Sex In The City), and many others. He would go on to obtain credits in the visual effects department of Paramount Televisions "Seven Days" TV series and the Emmy winning CBS Sports documentary, "The Life and Times of Pete Maravich" in which he would be credited as second unit cinematographer.

Having all this experience equipped Brian to be a huge asset to his wife, Tresha Johnson, the owner of Dye-namic Art by helping her fulfill her vision of bringing to life images that others could enjoy.

Born in Ashland, Oregon, Daniel has been creating art since he was young. Acrylic was Danielʼs original medium, however, within days of first painting with watercolors, Daniel knew heʼd found his medium. The majority of his technique is self-taught through his natural exploration of the paint and its application. When Danielʼs not in his art studio he can be found performing, recording, and songwriting for Daniel Nickels Music.

My artwork is an expression of the way the world around me captures my attention. All my adult life I have enjoyed being out in nature... experiencing it and trying to capture some sense of it's impact on me through photography and since 2009 through art.

Thanks to my mother's interest in painting and Dr. Rob McGrew, who was providing instruction as a volunteer to her and her friends at her retirement center, in 2009 I joined them to spend more time with mom during her later years. Dr. McGrew's expertise and positive approach to art and life sparked my desire to explore new ways to express what I see and feel when I interface with my environment.

This special time enjoying time creating art with my mom and learning from Dr. McGrew moved me into another place in my life. So now as a leisure artist after a career as a hospital pharmacist, I continue to explore new ways to express myself through fine art using watercolor, acrylics, oils, and photography.
