Larson-Juhl CEO Drew Van Pelt says, “We are honored to partner with Kathy Ireland Worldwide and bring Kathy’s new line of art and wall decor products to life.  Larson-Juhl’s history of fine craftsmanship and dedication to innovative design pair well with the classic, trend-forward style the Kathy Ireland Home brand represents.  We look forward to bringing these tasteful, distinctive artworks to market for the Kathy Ireland Home client.”

“The Buffalo Works is thrilled to be appointed, in partnership with Larson-Juhl, as a brand partner to extend the Kathy Ireland brand into a full-scale licensed art program.  Kathy’s brand is synonymous with fashionable design solutions for the home and we look forward to curating and marketing an art program with her exceptionally talented and creative team, that customers will enjoy throughout every room in their home,” says Joanne Olds, President of The Buffalo Works.
