New Artist at Sutter Creek Gallery: Aaron Bullock

Aaron Bullock was born in Eureka, Calif., and began his junior year of high school in San Jose, Calif.  Finishing his education in San Jose, he did his military commitment and found his lifetime career in the fire service. Wearing different hats in his 32-year career, he taught fire science at the CDF Academy and was an arson investigator for years.

Upon retiring in 1996, he became involved in wood carving. He finally found his favorite medium in gourds a little over four years ago. He now serves as president of the local gourd artists group and is active in gourd art promotion statewide.

You may notice his variety of subjects with his special passion being nature and Native American history. It is common to find more than one medium in his work. His artwork has been very successful in top gourd art competitions.
