Background

About Aaron E.

With 24 years of experience spanning civil engineering, quality management, and creative entrepreneurship, I bring a unique blend of technical precision and visionary business leadership to the world of fine art and Construction. As Business Director at LX Artworks, I lead operations, strategy, and growth across retail, wholesale, and design channels. Our mission centers on showcasing the original portrait work of Lindsay Ekstrom—an artist known for her bold fusion of traditional portraiture and pop culture. We operate a gallery in McKinney, Texas, where we connect collectors to original pieces, build lasting relationships, and support a growing network of artists. Before stepping into the art world, I spent nearly two decades in civil engineering and construction materials testing and inspection—leading multi-million and billion-dollar infrastructure projects across the U.S. I’ve managed labs, inspection teams, CEI contracts, structural fieldwork, and quality systems for agencies including TxDOT, ADOT, NDDOT, UDOT, IDOT, AKDOT, WSHDOT and USACE. That career shaped my approach to leadership: results-focused, people-driven, and relentlessly committed to excellence. Today, I apply that same mindset to the art business—developing wholesale partnerships, managing product design for large-scale residential and hospitality projects, and expanding the reach of our artists through strategic brand building. At the intersection of structure and creativity, I thrive. Let’s connect and create something lasting—whether it’s through art, collaboration, or shared vision.
