NASHVILLE, Tenn., Aug. 16, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- This summer,
Kirkland's, a leading retailer of home furnishings and decor
accents, launched its Featured Artist Collection, creating a
platform for of-the-moment artists representing diverse backgrounds
and a range of artistic styles.
The collection debuted in stores and online in July 2021 with a series of exclusive art prints
from artist, designer and Strasbourg,
France-based social media influencer Jessi Raulet of EttaVee. Raulet is well-known
for her vibrant, optimistic color palettes and the "good vibes" she
conveys in each of her pieces. Her works for Kirkland's – including
abstract canvases and framed illustrations of butterflies and
florals – range in price from $24.99
to $39.99 and are available now.
This fall, visual artist and illustrator Bria Nicole will become the second Featured
Artist in the collection. Her work – which contains classic
bohemian and Afro-bohemian elements with a bold color palette of
earth tones and pastels – is relatable and inspiring and represents
women of color with vibrance, style, grace and joy. Bria Nicole's pieces for Kirkland's will include
the portraits and nature illustrations for which she's best
known.
"We know that our customers represent a wide range of
backgrounds, ethnicities and styles. It's important to us that the
same diversity is represented in the products on our shelves and
the artists we support," said Amy
Sullivan, vice president and chief merchant at Kirkland's.
"The Featured Artist Collection provides an exciting opportunity
for us to work with talents like Jessi and
Bria Nicole, as well as to introduce our shoppers to new and
noteworthy artists."
Kirkland's plans to work with four to six Featured Artists each
year and will offer the Featured Artist Collection in stores and
online at kirklands.com.
