Aaron is an innovative Native American Artist of Shawnee-Choctaw-Kewa
descent. He creates unique one of a kind pieces that reflect his plains
and pueblo heritage.
He takes pride in his interpretation of every image; his jewelry has become
much more than just an adornment. It is his offering back to the creator for
the power, heritage, and the spirit of the first people of this nation. Learning
from his parents has given him an appreciation for the hard work it takes to be an artist and pointed him on the path of a silversmith known and followed for his unique vision.
He creates a variety of pieces combining ore and shell that were once buried
in Mother Earth. He uses these as a template for the history and heritage of
his family giving new life and meaning to the work of the future.
