Aaron's art was showcased at Gardner Community
Center in June 2008. He will be showcasing again at Riga's European
Cafe and Bakery during the month of November 2008.
Q:
What is your favorite medium and why? What is your range of mediums?
Aaron:
I have never experienced anything, but spray paint and acrylics.
I have used spray paint more than anything in my life, but within
the recent year and a half I have taken up acrylics. I have been
told oils are the way to go because of the blending ability. So
I think I'll give them a try sooner or later. As of now it acrylics,
but the future might hold something different.
Q: Where
have you studied art? Where have you exhibited work?
Aaron:
I took my first art class this semester at evergreen valley college.
They have a pretty good course and it opened my eyes to different
techniques of painting. I was really hoping to take a class in oils.
Basically everything I have learned though is self-taught and questions
over the phone from friends out of town.
Exhibiting, seriously this is my first time having an art show.
I did a little one for school this semester with other students,
but this will be my first “real event.” I have been
asked to in the past, but I'm very critical of my work and not sure
if it's to my liking yet. This is a huge leap for me.
Q: What
is your favorite work? And what is your favorite response from
others to your work?
Aaron: Well
my favorite work is portraits with my own little twist to them.
I'm still figuring out what I like though. I guess with every painting
that I do I find something new. So it's an evolving process.
My favorite response
would be when people are shocked and have the look of a deer in
headlights. I haven't been painting that long and that feeling feeds
my hunger for painting. It's an amazing feeling.
