| Beach Kids is one of 20 SKUs in Paragon’s Vikki Weigel youth collection. |
“These pieces are simply wonderful,” said Malanta Glassco-Knowles, vice president of marketing for Paragon. “Most of the pieces feature gallery style framing and are not glassed so they are perfect for children’s rooms.”
According to Glassco-Knowles, these pieces are not only for children, but for the young at heart, or anyone wanting to add a touch of whimsy to their décor. “The colors in Vikki’s art are so vibrant and lively, they instantly give a room a refreshing breath,” said Glassco-Knowles. “I see these pieces going in kitchens, placed in bookshelves and other nooks throughout a home for an unexpected touch of whimsy and fun.”
Glassco-Knowles said the art necklaces are especially fun. In addition to including one with each piece, the necklaces will be available for purchase separately.
“The line has just turned out fabulously,” Weigel said. “I am excited about the opportunity to work with Paragon. They are an industry leader and terrific to work with.”
“My art is inspired by childhood memories and my life growing up in the South,” Weigel said. “The “make believe” characters that live in my thoughts and my head come to life in vivid and energetic colors on my canvas.”
Weigel is a self-taught artist with a bright color palette and whimsical childlike spirit. She does a variety of custom works from portraits and murals to hand-painted furniture, working with both interior designers and individual clients. All the pieces will be manufactured in the U.S.
Weigel will be at the Southern Accessories Today showroom in Atlanta July 11-13, from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., painting and signing prints.
