The last art exhibit Reedy had at a local college in Central Florida was at Seminole State College back in September/October 2016.
Life about Artist Reedy? Reedy’s childhood took place in rural Mississippi where he was surrounded by “traditions of family, storytelling, and faith.” These traditions and experiences have shaped him and his relationship to the work.
“Growth as an artist is directly related to the acceptance of one’s self as an individual who dresses, talks, visualizes and creates differently from any other human. I see it as a refreshing force in a world that can sometimes be cold, static and impersonal. My philosophy is an interesting balance between intellect and superstition, science and magic, New York and Mississippi — a sort of Doo Dah Dada,” says Reedy.
Reedy earned his B.F.A. and M.F.A. from the University of Mississippi. His work has been displayed at The American Crafts Museum in New York, the Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington, D.C., and the American Museum of Ceramic Art, in Pomona, Calif.
