Navajo jewelry artist Aaron Anderson is a story of determination. Trained by family in the traditional techniques of Navajo tufa casting, Aaron has been an artisan for longer than he can remember.

Circumstances have not always been good to him however, and decisions along the way have left Aaron struggling to find inspiration. Thankfully friends and family have encouraged Aaron and 2011 is shaping up to be a break-through year for Aaron.

Inspiration has returned. Joy found in the action of creating beautiful works of art is inspiring new and revolutionary work from Aaron's hands.

Yet, these are difficult times in the jewelry business. Silver prices continue to escalate. Many collectors are effected by the economic downturn which is limiting sales. And traditional channels for sales are also diminishing.

In the midst of change, Aaron is determined to turn 2011 into a successful year where he reaches more of his collectors and friends directly, through this web site and his studio located at 211 West Coal in the rear of the Beeman Gallery.
