STORY:

A simple scene that reminds me of summer. A silent communication between two completely different things, each crucial to not only the other’s survival, but the the survival of life itself.

"I make art as a way to connect to people who feel unseen, in a way that shows them that they matter and are not alone. Using acrylic on canvas, I create images inspired by drawings I made when I was a kid – like birds, umbrellas, and jelly bean trees – speaking a language familiar to both children and adults." Aaron was a 2018 participant in the Nashville Arts and Business Council’s PERISCOPE Artist Entrepreneur Training cohort, and won first place in the Periscope Pitch competition at Oz Arts Nashville. He lives and works with his wife and son just outside Nashville, Tennessee.
