Bio:
Aaron Coberly was born in Seattle in 1971. He has been drawing for as long as he can remember. He started taking art seriously as a teenager after being invited to attend a life drawing class. Living and traveling in Europe further inspired him. He began oil painting in 1999. His work is primarily figurative with a stylistic nod to the Masters and the Impressionists. Aaron runs an open painting and drawing session in Seattle. He resides in the greater Seattle area and is married with a young son. Every day I work on becoming a better artist.

Reviews:
2003 Seattle Weekly "Paramount Cafe: Aaron Coberly's moody work depicts alienation, sadness, and the serenity of desolation. The people he paints are inscrutable, cold, and conflicted."
