From Functional to Fantastic: Reimagining Furniture as Art

Mary Beth McGinnis is an artist and designer specializing in upholstery, functional art, textile design, and mixed-media collage. Her passion for art began early and led her to study at the Art Institute of Chicago after earning a mathematics degree from Indiana University. Drawing on her background in art, design, and furniture restoration, Mary Beth creates one-of-a-kind pieces that combine vibrant textiles, original artwork, and expertly restored furniture. Her work often features collaborations with other artists and explores unexpected combinations of color, pattern, and style. With a focus on Art, Living, and Sustainability, she personally rebuilds and reupholsters each piece, transforming high-quality vintage and contemporary furniture into functional works of art. Her work has earned numerous awards at juried art festivals, including Best of Show at the 2026 Woodlands Waterway Arts Festival.
