BOXWOOD, Your Art, Your Story, Your Adventure. Let your art, tell your story, wherever you go.™
ABOUT THE ARTIST
My name is Aaron Holley. Before starting Boxwood in 2018 I was a concept artist and illustrator for 12 years. I worked with Disney on projects like Star Wars, Wreck it Ralph and many other things.
During those 12 years, I realized the need for change, the biggest reason was to get away from commercial art. I had this burning desire in my heart that was always on my mind to use my talent/abilities to help people and make a difference in someone’s life.
So In 2016, I made a life changing decision to sell everything I owned, the house, 401k, a 73 Challenger I rebuilt from the ground up, and left on a big adventure. It was an exciting time and a bit scary too, I remember shortly after I left the house I sold with my two dogs, I asked myself, “ what am I doing,” but I had faith and knew I had to do this so I pressed on and founded Boxwood in 2018.
Since then, the main goal with Boxwood is to help people discover and connect with unique art that you won’t find anywhere else. To find something that has the ability to captivate, inspire and keep you coming back for more. Something with depth like your favorite song or movie. Something timeless.
I live and work in Florida. My art is internally driven, inspired either by nature, biblical and or current events seeking to impart beauty and inspiration.
With each new painting, I set out to express ideas and emotions that continually evolve throughout the creative process, eventually culminating in dynamic spatial compositions that encourage the viewer's ongoing exploration. I'm grateful and love the entire process of painting and find something special in each piece I create." -Aaron
