is a fine artist born and raised in Palo Alto, California, who enjoys the explorative processes of figurative painting, drawing, and sculpture. He dedicates himself to the preservation of organic interactions and the human experience, rooting his body of work in both candid occurrences and relationships. As the world automates, he wants to speak life.

Aaron is also a decorated track athlete, formerly competing as a Division I high jumper at UCLA and later the University of Miami, from where he graduated. He now competes as one of the nation’s best while coaching back at his alma mater of Palo Alto High School.

Though it isn’t always so clear to him, he is as much an artist as he is an athlete, and would not be one without the other.
