For years, Aaron has held a deep fascination with history, particularly the personal narratives of legendary artists, musicians, and iconic figures who have shaped our cultural consciousness. Intrigued by iconic photographs, he often wondered about the specific moments captured. This inherent curiosity, combined with a passion for photography, led him to a distinguished career as an art curator and collector.
After nearly two decades of operating a fine art gallery in New York, Aaron decided in 2017 to share his appreciation for photography in the Southeast. Charleston, with its vibrant cultural scene, innovative spirit, and clear reverence for its historical foundations emerged as the ideal location for Heart of Gold Gallery.
Bringing relationships with more than 100 of the most influential photographers from around the world and experience curating hundreds of exhibits, Aaron holds a wealth of knowledge about the photographs in his gallery and the unique story behind each. With his industry rapport and expansive expertise, he is also adept at unearthing never before seen archives and finding the rarest of photos for his clients, which he likens to an archeological discovery.
In addition to helping match collectors with their perfect pieces, Aaron is equally passionate about educating patrons on the photographers and stories behind every captured moment. His hope is to curate a collection that will ignite conversation, spark curiosity and ultimately inspire each and every person who steps into the Heart of Gold Gallery. A family affair, when you stop by the gallery you’ll likely meet Aaron’s wife Susan, an accomplished portrait, lifestyle and fashion photographer, and their son.

You will be hard pressed to find someone more passionate about their work than Aaron. Not only are his collections brimming with new and nostalgia, but the stories behind each photo are magic.
This gallery is a gem. We wanted some art for our new home, and found an iconic photo of David Bowie and a badass print of early Johnny Cash. Aaron is super knowledgeable and shared a ton of anecdotes behind the photographs, artists and photographers.
I have purchased quite a few pieces from Heart of Gold since it's opening last year. Aaron is always very helpful and knowledgeable about the musicians and the photographers. I highly recommend this gem!
Amazing selection of prints and Aaron is incredibly knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. He worked with me to find the perfect Dylan print and I love it.
Thank you!
