Aaron Brown
Aaron Brown grew up in a creative family and was encouraged to do/be anything he wanted. This has led him initially from bone and wood carving to architectural model making then onto commercial sculpting, jade carving, jewelry design and art sculpture. Aaron was working as a commercial sculptor when he took up stone carving, he describes himself as being self taught with periodic input and feedback from the legendary John Edgar.
Aaron's deep love of nature is reflected in his work. "I love the challenge of representational or realistic carving and the goal of capturing a small slice of the subject's personality. Along with my more realistic work I also enjoy taking a basic form like a toki/chisel or a leaf shape and working the shape again and again, trying to get it finer, cleaner and more pleasing to the eye."
