Our Story

Funktini is a generational collaboration of creating and building between mother/daughter, JoAnn Rawley & Beth Keenan. In 2000, they began participating in art shows traveling throughout the Midwest and East Coast along with creating for galleries and gifts shops. After 15 years of traveling, they decided to establish their roots at home and sell online retail and wholesale. In September 2022, they began their newest adventure - FunktiniLand - a shop filled with Funktini Artwork in addition to over 30 works from other Ohio Artists and Funky Vintage Finds.

Throughout those years, Jo and Beth have cultivated a friendship and a respect for each other beyond just mother/daughter. They are confidants, traveling companions, artistic collaborators, and partners in crime in this crazy adventure called life. We realize that without someone to purchase our art, our voices cannot be heard. We appreciate each and everyone of you who support artist, their endeavors, and encourage them to share their thoughts, ideas, and talents.

Our art reflects our love of everyday functional decor, interior spaces, vintage finds, and bright beautiful colors. In creating our work, we use an array of techniques & materials, such as glass fusing, metal sculpting, polymer clay, wood, anodized aluminum, and upcycled vintage.  Our intentions with our artwork are simple.  We want to give you a little piece of fun, love, and genuine happiness.”

“We have a desire. A desire to create.  Call it genetics, call it crazy, call it wonderful.  Whatever it is, we've got it...and we wouldn't have it any other way.  Creativity runs deeply in our veins, but more importantly, so does our desire to bring a smile to another human being.”
