Painter Hayes is the creative team of Sarah & Cosby. Specializing in site-specific mural works informed by their studio painting practice, the two have a combined 30 years of painting experience.
Sarah Painter & Cosby Hayes have been painting together since 2017. In 2023, they got married, combined their names, and Painter Hayes was officially established.
They have been commissioned by the Office of the Vice President, Coca-Cola, and collaborate with a variety of municipalities, nonprofits, businesses, and schools.
Cosby's work seeks to unravel the layers of kitsch aesthetics embedded in Florida's visual identity. Through a lens of satire and celebration, Cosby reflects on the irony of creating a personal oasis in a region known for its natural adversities. The work is a commentary on the inclination to shape environments into personal havens.
