LOUIS -- Indoor/outdoor home accessories resource Magnet Works debuted its spring/summer 2013 catalog with more than 90 new designs, including an all-new Pets Unleashed collection by artist Ginger Oliphant. The new pet designs feature a bold, graphic style and combine a variety of pet breeds with fun, inspirational phrases.

Sue Todd, Magnet Works president and art director, said she chose to work with Oliphant because her art "can tug at your heartstrings and put a smile on your face at the same time."

"Ginger is so good at capturing the cuteness and personality of each breed with the style of her art and with just the right words of wisdom or inspiration," Todd said.

In addition to Pets Unleashed, Magnet Works has expanded its Expressions line with designs from two new artists, Stephanie Ryan and Susan Black.

"The serenity of the garden... the warmth and love of the home... these sentiments are near and dear to Stephanie and Susan. That's why they're so beautifully expressed in their art," Todd said.

Pets Unleashed, Expressions and the other new designs from Magnet Works will be available at the winter markets, but that's not all they will be introducing.

"We've got a big surprise for our retailers this winter," said Curt Todd, CEO of Magnet Works. "It's going to be one of the most important announcements in our company's history."
