“I cannot precisely describe what moves me to create. But I must. Impetus is an obsession that derives from an impulsive excitement + desire to explore, experiment, and evolve through self-expression. This force not only requires of me to be a conduit for creation, but also demands it. Even after years of following a different path, suppressing its voice, with several years of self-dentil. Impetus remains and continues to beckon. For me to acquiesce to its will, is the greatest gift I could ever receive and give.”

“Every artist has a dream and it lives inside them. Some artist have a dream and manifest it into reality. At the Braemar, it is my job to build their stage. I am proud to announce the official class of 2021, past Escapists: AVM Hawkins, Hugo Perez and Sarah Rimboch have been invited to exhibit by the Art Launch Board of Directors.
When the program began in 2010, I met once a month with, and had one exhibit for, each artist. Today, Escapist work in a state of the art studio on the prestigious Heights Boulevard and have travelled across the globe as far as Mumbai. We’ve come a long way in just 10 years! And how far they go still depends on the same things—their commitment and hard work to continue as full-time working artists.
Along with great responsibility, it’s an honor to serve these artists as they return to work with me and ensure their dream is given its place to shine.
Welcome Home Guys.” - John Ross Palmer
