Aaron Schuerr

Aaron is an artist, writer, actor, husband, and father of three wonderful boys. It all gets mixed up until the distinctions are blurred, as they should be. The heart of his work is in the outdoors, absorbing the pattern of light on the landscape. Actors speak of "being in the moment" immersing themselves so totally in story that everything else falls away. The open air is his stage, and in the best moments, he is lost in it. he has no desire to impress you with these paintings. Rather, he strives to share his experience with honesty and without fear.
