Aaron Kraten is a self-taught artist from Huntington Beach, CA who currently lives in Nashville, Tennessee. He began his art career by experimenting with found objects, and began to display his work at a thrift store he worked at, called Stateside. Armed with nothing but sketchbooks, paintings, and a DIY approach to getting his work out to the public, Aaron now shows his work at museums and galleries, as well as collaborates with record labels and publications.
