January Featured Artist – Aaron Summers

Aaron Summers is a self-taught artist who specializes in acrylic painting, pen and ink drawing and design. He was born in Cleveland, Ohio on July, 21 1987. He now currently resides in Portland, OR. He always loved to draw as a child and even as early as age 4 he was determined to make art his career.

When in high school, his unique style of painting was constantly growing, seemingly evident to everyone, and it was something you just couldn’t ignore. He was creating emotion, texture, and life into his paintings which someone at the age of 17 seemed way beyond his years.

With the driving force of family support and intense mental focus behind him, Aaron started to create paintings that were beyond anyone’s imagination. He was producing art that was as though he was exhaling emotion from his mind to the canvas.

In 2013, a studio was built in his San Diego home thus pushing his drive even further. Ever since then he has been creating custom paintings to people’s liking almost everyday.

When asking Aaron how he discovered his style of art he said, “I discovered my style through emotional experiences both positive and negative. My inspiration derives from people I meet, stories I hear, plants, animals and music.”

Through his art he has inspired adults and children alike that no matter how small their dreams may be, they are always achievable. Aaron hopes to leave a standing impression, learn, and be inspired by the ever changing world.
