Aaron Whitehouse was born in 1975 in Terre Haute, Indiana. Aaron grew up in the Atlanta Metro area and after graduating from Georgia State University with a Bachelor of Arts in Film and Video, he enrolled for one year at Southern Seminary in Columbia South Carolina. This is where he realized creativity was his gift and vowed to follow wherever it lead in life. After several years of traveling and living in many different areas in the U.S. (Maui, Santa Barbara, Key Largo, New York), Aaron decided to return to Atlanta for one purpose: to further his artistic development. He apprenticed under renowned Atlanta artist Joseph Guay and from there decided to experiment with a variety of different mediums and found his niche in resin based works. “I was drawn to using resin because of the depth it can create in a piece; being a person who is drawn to contemplation and other forms of communication that translate “from deep to deep” it seemed resin helped unlock that expression within my art. I try not to use any form at all in my work (except photography) in order to translate just raw feeling and emotion; to me it’s the equivalent of speech without actual words. Much more like base sounds and expressions, which I always found to be more powerful than words anyways”.
