ABOUT THE ARTIST

Aaron Hinds is an oil painter based in Tyler, Texas. His work carries on the tradition of the biblical and historical masters, retelling scripture in his own style: layered and full of motion. Each scene is painted as if from beyond the physical world, not from where the people in it stood.

“I felt like a fresh take on the life of this undeniably historical God-man, was needed. Jesus changed the world in only three years, without an army or a famous family name. I am honored to have a hand in creating contemporary depictions of the miraculous birth, death, resurrection and ascension of Jesus the Christ.”

What visitors say

"Rarely have I ever been sure that I was in the presence of genius; I absolutely knew that I was when witnessing Mr. Hinds' profound, multifaceted, beautiful, spiritual art and meeting the artist himself. To describe his work as brilliant would be an understatement. We happened in on a lark, then spent two hours perusing the paintings and talking with Mr. Hinds. We could have stayed much longer, honestly, because the paintings contain myriad layers of meaning and storytelling inspired greatly by the life of Christ and Biblical parable. Each painting is a poem that speaks of love and understanding. Please do yourself the favor of witnessing this gift to the world, regardless of your own religious affiliation."
