Funkyware
You could say Sandi Funk is a little twisted when it comes to everyday household items. Take silverware, for example. Most are content to simply eat with it, but Sandi sees all kinds of characters and scenes in your typical table knife, spoon, or serving utensil. Her handcrafted Funkyware is whimsical, surprising, and, yes, a little off the wall. Each “personality” is a true work of art.
Sandi’s work is on display in our shop this week as our featured artist for March.
Sandi is a local girl who milked cows and ran a grocery store right here in the Driftless region before she moved with her husband to central Florida.
It is rumored that the artistic bug bit Sandi while she was in college in DeKalb, Ill., at Northern Illinois University. That was where she owned and ran a coffee house, Juicy John Pink’s, with her husband Mike. They often had guest artists play or display their work in their java joint.
Her work extends beyond Funkyware to her love of stain-glass work. Check out her beautiful sun catchers featured in our windows.
Come in and check out Sandi’s work.
