Close Up Radio Spotlights Artists Aaron Horrell and Barb Bailey

Cape Girardeau, MO - Aaron Horrell is the founder and owner of Painted Wren Gallery, an  art gallery selling paintings, children's books, pottery, soaps, and patchwork quilts, among other artistic pieces all designed by southeast Missouri artists. Manager Barb Bailey joined his business after meeting Aaron. Eight years later they create and self-publish children's books. Aaron and Barb have written 15 books so far filled with lively colorful illustrations and unique characters they create and share with the world.

Aaron and Barb loved how their fabulous Missouri Bicentennial Mural was able to connect thousands of people for an amazing cause. Finding a way to incorporate this idea of community artwork into everyday life became Aaron's calling. This concept motivated Aaron to create Paint For A Cause, a fundraising opportunity benefiting specific charities while bringing members of the local community together.
