Getting to know the artist

Hi, Im Aaron Robert

April 7, 2020

Hi!

First of all, Thank you for taking the time to come to my little corner of the internet, I hope it finds you well.

My Name is Aaron. In 2020 I decided to go by Aaron Robert (my middle name) Instead of my last name for my art, because Robert was my uncles name. Robert (commonly known as Bob) passed away when he was 17 and my mom was pregnant with me, so they named me after him. I thought it fitting to carry his name front and center with my works, to leave the legacy he never got the chance to.

Im originally from the western side of Washington state. Born in Tacoma, thats where I first realized my love for the making of things. In the little Trailer we lived in, where there had once been another mobile home, there was a dirt lot across the street. When it rained I would run out to the lot and sculpt with the finely ground sediment. I vividly remember making a giraffe. I let all its body parts dry separately under the staircase up to my neighbors trailer, and after a couple days of drying, I went back out with a container of wet mud and connected all the parts together. That giraffe is the one moment I would trace my love for art and design back to.
