DEMDACO Introduces Artist Sharon Nowlan
DEMDACO is honored to introduce artist Sharon Nowlan's uplifting and distinctive pebble art collection
October 16, 2017, Leawood, Kansas — DEMDACO, the wholesale distribution firm specializing in gift and home décor products, is proud to announce its new partnership with fine artist Sharon Nowlan and introduce The Sharon Nowlan Collection to the gift industry.
The collection began with a handful pebbles Sharon discovered on a beach outing and shaped into a poignant depiction of a grandmother and child. From these first pebble ripples across an artist’s spirit came a line of framed art that celebrates the moments and relationships that touch the heart.
Sharon Nowlan’s artistry is reflective of the beautiful land and seascapes of Nova Scotia where she grew up drawing, painting and creating in a variety of media. The Sharon Nowlan Collection transforms a mix of composite pebbles and other materials into inspirational and aspirational design concepts, from angels and devoted friends to sentiments such as “Celebrate life,” and “Follow your heart.”
These fine artisan reproductions powerfully capture experiences across the relationship spectrum, offering special occasion and “just because” gifts for everyone, including couples, family, friends and individuals.
Sharon Nowlan’s minimalist style allows the subject matter to make its own powerful statement. A neutral, earth-toned color palette and versatile display features, complements many home décor styles. The pieces feature a textured wood frame with high-quality matte board, to set off the dimensional beauty of the art, and an easel back.
This imaginative, heartfelt collection from DEMDACO is currently available for purchase by retailers. Please contact your Territory Manager, visit our showrooms, or contact Customer Care to order.
