These mouldings pair perfectly with the artwork of Paul Thomas, one of Chelsea Frames’ feature artists. Thomas’ abstract paintings are inspired by harmonious, light-infused color. His vivid paintings are on display in public and private collections in the US, Canada, France, Italy, Spain and South America. Beautifully framed paintings by Paul Thomas will be available for purchase at the Larson-Juhl booth and Thomas will be on hand to discuss his process and inspiration.
“Paul Thomas is a favorite of ours,” shares Jaclyn Acker, co-owner of Chelsea Frames. “We worked with him last year on several pieces for an Architectural Digest feature and were blown away with the final results. We knew his works would pair beautifully with Larson-Juhl’s selection of modern, authentic frames.”
“We are so inspired by the artist community and we welcome the occasion to collaborate with artists, framers, publishers and designers as well as to educate and share information to strengthen our industry,” shares Jennifer Harlan. Artexpo New York guests can learn more about the impact of beautiful custom framing on Saturday. Larson-Juhl Design Director, Jennifer Townsend, will be presenting a new seminar, Elements of Design, and Jennifer Harlan will be joining one of the panel discussions.

Early this year, Christian Harwell of Cyrus Custom Framing & Art took home the grand prize at Larson-Juhl’s second annual “Design Star: Framing Edition” competition. He received a $500 Larson-Juhl moulding credit and now has the opportunity to collaborate with the Larson-Juhl Design Team on a new moulding collection.

I am humbled beyond words for this kind of recognition from my peers. It is truly an honor to be the next Design Star,” Harwell said. “I have always wanted to help design a line of moulding, and I can’t wait to get started.

Hundreds of custom framers submitted entries to the framing competition, which was held at the West Coast Art & Frame Show in Las Vegas. Custom framers from around the world sent in photographs of their creative framing projects in seven categories: objects, mirrors, textiles, documents, art on canvas, art on paper and photography. A panel of industry experts selected first, second and third place winners in each category. Harwell earned both first and second place in the photography category as voted on by industry expert and Larson-Juhl designer Linda Omelianchuk.

Harwell won the title of 2014 Design Star for beautifully framing a military photograph along with a WWII medallion and engraved 21-gun salute bullet casings. He framed the mementos in a moulding from Larson-Juhl’s Ashland collection, #351732, and used Bainbridge mat boards to add emphasis.

“This is a passion of mine, and to see the overwhelmingly positive response at West Coast Art & Frame was amazing,” said Mario Mazzone, Larson-Juhl’s business-development manager. “People get excited when they see our Brushstrokes pieces, and it continues to elevate my enthusiasm for the technology.”

According to Mazzone, Brushstrokes enables art aficionados to enjoy the look of an artist’s original brushwork without the high cost. Larson-Juhl acquired Brushstrokes Fine Art, LLC in 2013, and Brushstrokes recently partnered with the Thomas Kinkade Company to produce its new Impressions Collection, a line of impressionist and other plein air works.
