NEWPORT NEWS, Va. - Home décor and gift manufacturer C & F Enterprises will debut a new line of accessories by licensed coastal artist Jen Callahan at this summer's markets.

Callahan's designs for C & F include a line of four oversized decorative pillows on canvas, using high resolution art transfer to maintain the integrity of the artist's work. The designs are bright, impressionistic paintings of sea life, with a whimsical nod to color, and feature a sea turtle (18x18), jelly fish (18 x24), heron (18 x24) and blue crab (18x 18). A coordinating turtle hooked accent rug (2x3) is also available. Retail prices for the pieces range from $40 to $45.

Jennifer Sheridan, C&F's national sales manager, said, "Jen Callahan is a vibrant artist whose bold use of color and movement evokes the animation of the sea onto canvas. We have adapted her beautiful water colors into home décor and tabletop accessories. Coastal home accents are a strong category for C & F and Gallerie II and we are thrilled to add this great new talent to our family of artists."

"C & F Enterprises is a great partner, with a strong reputation in the industry for home linens and home accessories," Callahan said. "I am excited about our partnership and the opportunity to translate my passion for coastal sea life to practical pieces that brighten a home."

C&F exhibits in Atlanta at Building 2, Suite 1435 in Americasmart, and in Las Vegas at Building C, Suite 701.
