"There is something about the hands of an artist. The painter's fingers almost permanently stained with pigment, the nimble hands of the weaver in constant motion, the poetic rhythms of the potter."
Aaron Foster Aaron's first piece of artwork was created as a gift for his best friend and business partner. She suggested second piece and the next thing he knew, he had a career as an artist. In 2002 Aaron returned to Northern California to get back to the landscape he loves and to be creative in familiar surroundings. He works specifically with vintage license plates and began his career with reclaimed wood from old homes and barns. The varied styles and never ending palette of America's old license plates allow for unlimited color combinations in his work. While there are more than forty designs in his collection, the USA map has always been his signature piece.
Aaron's artwork has been featured in The New York Times, The LA Times, The San Francisco Chronicle, Mary Engelbreit's HOME Companion, and on ABC's Extreme Makeover: The Home Edition. His interior design work has been featured on multiple occasions in Country Living Magazine.
In 2004, Aaron relocated again, this time to Los Angeles in order to pursue his lifelong dream of being an actor. He has just completed his first professional gig as host and designer of the new HGTV show, FreeStyle. Currently, Aaron works out of his Los Angeles home/studio, where he also hosts once a month dinner parties that bring together the eclectic mix of people he encounters in his daily life. Artists, actors, entrepreneurs, clients, film-makers, writers, politicians, friends and relatives are all welcomed to a casual evening where Aaron hopes to connect like minded people who might not otherwise find each other. When he's not following Bob Dylan around on tour, you can find him in his Los Angeles studio, snipping, cutting, and creating. And sometimes playing his own guitar.
