Michael Aram is a celebrated American artist whose primary medium is metal. Although his forebears migrated from Armenia to the United States, they maintained their cultural heritage and endeavored to pass down this reverence to future generations. This legacy permeates his artistry, though his most profound inspiration stems from a journey to India.
