ARTIST BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH: Aaron is a descendant of the Cree and Cherokee. He is a young artist with immense talent. In addition to his acrylic works, Aaron has apprenticed in stain glass and goldsmithing. "I am an artist. In my paintings, I seek to nurture a relationship with the viewer. I try to use colours that are calming, but also fresh and exciting. In each painting I try to include a story that is meaningful to me and encourages discussion. I hope that my works can act as part of a catalyst for greater understanding. My work always features an aspect of nature and our relationship with the earth." Aaron is called an educator and community builder and is intensely interested in making connections, observing interactions, and then translating that knowledge to a visual form: his paintings. He is represented in many private collections in Canada, the United States and Europe.
