​
A note from Aaron : As a multidisciplinary artist focusing on ceramics and watercolor, I have always been fascinated by art and its ability to convey an idea, emotion, or narrative while retaining a sense of ambiguity. This dynamic facilitates the viewer's participation, whose perceptions and intellect further develop the piece as they connect with the art. I am a husband of 26 years, a father of two, who served in the Army for 23 years, and a recent graduate of UMHB majoring in Fine Arts. I now look towards becoming an avid maker, who inspires others to create works reflective of their desires.
