The story of Buckeye Chuck
Buckeye Chuck is one of two groundhogs in Ohio known for predicting the arrival of spring. A native of Marion, Ohio, Chuck began predicting the arrival of Spring in the 1970s.
From late September until early April, Buckeye Chuck spends his time hibernating. On February 2, against his will, Chuck emerges from his sleep to predict the weather. In 1979, the Ohio legislature made Buckeye Chuck Ohio's official groundhog.
Using groundhogs to predict the weather came from Germany. A long-held German tradition states that if a hibernating animal sees its shadow on February 2, six more weeks of winter will occur. In the United States, this tradition evolved into Ground Hog Day. Generally, wild groundhogs live to only two years of age while domesticated ones commonly live to ten years of age. While groundhogs rarely live more than a decade, some people contend that Buckeye Chuck is the same groundhog that has predicted the weather for almost thirty years.

Meet the Maker
Established in 1984,
My venture began as a hobby when I was in my teens, under the tutelage of a pottery artist. Never crazy about the feel of clay on my hands, I eventually found myself experimenting with concrete. Sculpting, testing mixes, and mold making. The only thing concrete was missing was color.
Color invigorates, expresses, and speaks to us with a sincerity of none other.
My love of dogs seems to have won, as I realize It finds me talking to your fur babies while I’m painting.
My product is of the custom nature. I call it Mini-Me Painting. My work is gracing and adored on many mantels, bookshelves and end tables, as well as memory gardens, and grave markers.
I also support a few local rescues with my work.
Everything is waterproof sealed and/or painted for indoor/outdoor use.
