Through art we can draw ourselves into worlds we wish to inhabit. Over a year ago, I attended two small music shows at which I made several sketches. Months later, during a period of loneliness, these experiences and their attendant drawings became anchors. They, along with several drawings I had made at coffee shops, generated vibrant paintings which were markedly different from my other work. Throughout the year, I found more moments, more images. I was making pictures I wanted to live in. The show title, Yes, is from an unassuming poster which was on stage at one of the shows. Yes to the moment, yes to our lives.
