ABOUT THE ARTIST


Being born and raised in the country made it possible for my brothers, sisters, and me to constantly be with our Grandparents. We couldn't wait till school was out. We dashed in the house, changed our clothes, and then we were on our bikes to the farmhouse, which is where I live today.

I can honestly say I don't think I ever loved anyone like I loved my Grandmother. She was a special kind of person; I think everyone loved my Gram. Being with her every day, I admired her ability, the way she worked, enjoyed life with her 10 gardens, and always made other people feel good about themselves. Through the years I would try to grasp onto every word she would say, hoping one day that I could say that I learned all the good I know in my life from this special person.

The one phrase my Grandmother used more then anything else....was, "Never put off until tomorrow, what you can do today". I'm proud to say that not a day goes by that I don't remind myself of my Grandmother's words.

Though my love for music, songwriting, and recording is much deeper rooted in my heart than anything else I do in my life, I do love to paint. At my store, "Created-By-U" there are thousands of unfinished pieces to choose from. I pour approximately 15,000 molds, and the shelves are constantly stocked. I take great pride in my painting; Angels and Indians are my favorite. As you clink into my "Country Store", the finished pieces that you see are all painted by me. Never does a finished piece leave my hands until it is signed, so rest assure that the piece you are ordering is finished to the very best of my ability.

I try very hard to "Never put off until tomorrow, what I can do today". I enjoy each and every day of my life and in my heart, thank my Grandmother for that. So either through a song that I write or a piece that I paint, I always feel that I've accomplished something very special. I hope with all my heart you'll enjoy looking through my pages and come back often as we post more finished pieces to choose from.
