Dunwoody Artist's Painting Used For Floor Mat
Product
Available at Bed, Bath & Beyond Stores Nationwide
ATLANTA, GA, December 18, 2003 --- Dunwoody artist
Sharon Weiss has an image of one of her pastel
paintings reproduced on a floor mat, which is now
available at area locations of Bed, Bath, and
Beyond. The top portion of the floor mat contains
the scanned image of begonias in bright pinks,
greens, and whites, and the backing is made of
recycled tires. They are manufactured by a Northern
California based company and are available
nationwide and at Atlanta locations of Bed, Bath &
Beyond. Sharon reports that getting involved with
floor mats was an unexpected circumstance that
occurred during a family event trip to San Francisco
last year. Her brother’s friend mentioned that she
had a business relationship with the manufacturer
and suggested that some of her artwork could be
appropriate as images. She had the painting
professionally scanned so the manufacturer could
create a sample for potential customers. When Bed,
Bath, and Beyond ordered the mats, the company went
into full production. Sharon reports that the image
is very true to the original and is excited to see
the floor mats sold in local stores. Her friends and
co-workers have been snapping up the mats at nearby
stores.
With a Bachelor’s Degree and teaching credential in
art from UCLA, Sharon has experience with many types
of media but particularly enjoys working with
pastels. She is a signature member and officer of
the Southeastern Pastel Society, and teaches
workshops in pastel and watercolor pencil at the
Spruill Education Center. She has participated in
numerous exhibits at the Spruill Gallery, Swan Coach
Gallery, group shows with the Southeastern Pastel
Society, and has completed numerous commissions. Her
work has been purchased by local and international
collectors.
