Interior designer expands business in East Walnut Hills
EAST WALNUT HILLS – Jan Karl Wolf, a longtime Cincinnati artist who creates and sells custom artwork to interior designers and others, has expanded his business.

Wolf, 62, owner of Jan Wolf Studio, says the expansion included relocating the studio to 3103 Woodburn Ave. after initially opening it in 1993 in O'Bryonville. He moved in August to a 1,300-square-foot studio in a newly renovated building originally built in 1870.

Wolf says the move to the building provides him with a better showroom. "The new building offers a more attractive display area for the finished product and improved conditions for works in progress," he says.
