J. Aaron Alderman, a native of Brevard, North Carolina, began his studies at Brevard College. After graduating, he furthered his education under the guidance of local sculptor and college professor Tim Murray, as well as coppersmith J.T. Copper. Through a highly physical process, Alderman creates sculptures that are ego-less, expressive, and deeply emotive, capturing a profound sense of connection through form.

Alderman has been awarded multiple public and private commissions and has exhibited his work both across the United States and internationally, in galleries and select juried exhibitions.

Their sculptures, featured in both private and public collections, range from figurative to architectural forms. Many pieces seem to defy gravity, inviting viewers into a space of contemplation and reverence for both the artists' vision and the innate beauty of the stones themselves. The Peveralls’ work reflects a deep respect for natural materials, revealing the soulful presence embedded within the stone, while also offering a contemporary expression of sculptural art.

“As a sculptor, I use the repetition of simple lines, in the form of round stock steel, to capture the emotional expression of the human form.”
